BFI-Black Orpheus (Orfeo Negro)
 

I read at DVDTIMEs that BFI just released this on DVD-but can find no evidence on Amazon.uk. OAR of 1:66-so probably not anamorphic, but it would be nice to read a review...The Criterion is FF (1:33) say Amazon.us

Now I find this odd, but once about 20 years ago, a 70mm print of this came to my hometown;

The BFI have just released a new print of it in cinemas, so expect the DVD to follow soon. Some info on their cinema release: http://www.bfi.org.uk/incinemas/rele.../blackorpheus/

BTW this screened on French TV last week, and it was the first time I'd seen it. Doubt if I'll get the BFI DVD when it appears, but I enjoyed it and really found its enthusiasm and lively nature to be very infectious.

Dazza.

Thanks
