O mito de Orfeu foi reelaborado diversas vezes pelo cinema brasileiro. Procura-se contrapor a <em>katábasis</em> produzida por Cacá Diegues a de Marcel Camus, com <em>Orphée Noir</em> (1958), em dois momentos, em <em>A cidade grande</em> (1966) e <em>Orfeu</em> (1999). Argumenta-se que o bandido social e o traficante de drogas são personagens centrais para a produção de distintas composições do inferno feitas por Diegues.

This text is a hermeneutic exercise about one of the paradigmatic works of Vinicius de Moraes, Orfeu da Conceição. This plays opens a partnership between the poet and the composer Antonio Carlos Jobim, which was fruitful and unique for Brazilian arts. Orfeu da Conceição is also paradigmatic because it is the first work to bring black actors to the stages of the Municipal Theater of Rio de Janeiro. Orfeu da Conceição led to one of the films that most contributed, positively or negatively, to the international image of Brazil in the second half of the 20th century, the award-winning Orpheus Negro, by Marcel Camus. The text will notice how many of the ideas and representations of the favela were already visible in the Brazilian popular repertoire prior to the composition of the play. The idea, in general, is to observe how, in addition to its poetic-musical quality, Orfeu da Conceição can also serve as a reflection on how we represent and see favelas in the urban context, both in 1956 and today.

Résumé L’article qui suit propose une étude du film Orfeu Negro de Marcel Camus (1959) et une réflexion théorique sur le rapport entre cinéma et oralité. Film de fiction inspiré par une certaine ethnographie, Orfeu Negro transpose le mythe d’Orphée dans un Brésil aussi actuel qu’intemporel. À travers sa rencontre avec le Brésil, ses acteurs, musiciens et danseurs, Camus révèle le caractère orphique d’un cinéma dansé et chanté ; il exalte le carnaval, le corps et le chamanisme ; il renoue avec le caractère enchanté d’une culture que nous nous proposons de décrire ici et qui contraste avec la culture européenne à laquelle le réalisateur appartient.

O presente texto tem por objeto de análise as características dos programas da televisão francesa que abordaram a temática das favelas da cidade do Rio de Janeiro/Brasil, em documentos que foram ao ar entre abril de 1964 e maio de 2003. Não se analisarão as imagens propriamente ditas, ou seja, os aspectos particulares pelos quais as cenas e/ou quadros foram construídos, mas identificar-se-ão características próprias dos documentos audiovisuais que trataram a temática das favelas, em relação aos programas, temas abordados, duração e horário da emissão. Foram utilizadas duas bases de dados da Inathèque de France, a saber: a base do Dépôt Legal e os Archives INA TV (IMAGO). A análise dos resultados sugere que, na TV francesa, o ícone predominante da sociedade carioca é o de uma sociedade dicotômica, ricos de um lado, e pobres na favela. Esse ícone foi construído através de diversos programas, em que imagens e cenas cotidianas das favelas, sob o gênero de noticiários e magazines, foram transmitidas em boa parte entre 11h31min e 13h30min, nos canais TF1, FR2 e FR3 (70% do total das emissões). Gêneros mais longos, como documentários, com tendência a produzir um quadro de análise e propor uma explicação por vezes mais abrangente, se fizeram presentes, em geral, após 22:30h, nos canais FR2, FR3, Canal + e Arte. Assinala-se na conclusão que a estrutura socioespacial do Rio de Janeiro é mais complexa do que a captada pelo modelo dualista indicado pelos programas analisados. Tal matização socioespacial está ausente nos documentos audiovisuais transmitidos pela TV francesa, e isso os leva a abordar o tema da favela no Rio de Janeiro de uma visão mítico-romântica como a iconizada no filme de Marcel Camus, Orfeu Negro. Palavras-chave: Rio de Janeiro; imagem da divisão social da cidade; favelas; Inathèque de France; televisão francesa.  Abstract: The objective of this article is to analyze the characteristics of French television broadcasts that approach the theme of favelas (slums) in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in TV programs aired from April 1964 to May 2003. The purpose was not to analyze the images per se, but to identify the characteristics of audiovisuals dealing with the issue of favelas, in terms of the programs, the themes covered, duration, and the time of the day in which the programs were broadcasted. Two different data basis were used from the Inathèque de France, namely the Dépôt Legal and the Archives INA TV (IMAGO). Analysis of the results suggests a sharp social division in Rio de Janeiro through the image of the favelas as reported on French TV under the genre of news broadcasts and magazines, mostly aired from 11:31 to13:30 PM), on channels TF1, FR2, and FR3 (70% of broadcasts). Longer genres such as documentaries, tending to produce a more in-depth analysis and sometimes proposing a broader explanation of the phenomenon were generally only aired after 10:30 PM, both on the FR2, FR3, Canal+ and Arte channels. The conclusion highlights that Rio de Janeiro’s socio-spatial structure is more complex than that captured by such a dualistic model. The city’s socio-spatial nuances are lacking in the audiovisual programs broadcasted by French TV, and the approach to the favela issue is thus based on a mythical-romantic view as portrayed in Black Orpheus, by Marcel Camus. Keywords: Rio de Janeiro; social division image; slums; Inathèque de France; television broadcasts.

35th KARLOVY VARY INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL The Brazilian film revival received another festival boost when Andrucha Waddington's Eu Tu Eles (Me You Them) scored a hardly unexpected Crystal Globe victory at the 35th Karlovy Vary festival (5-15 July 2000). Since 1995, when the new government (after the impeachment of the president) introduced friendly film laws to encourage investment in productions, a Golden Bear has been awarded at the Berlinale to Walter Salles's Central Station -- followed by an even more important commercial box-office hit: Carlos Diegues's Orfeu, a remake of Vinicius de Morales's play Orfeu de Carnival, the same source used by Marcel Camus for his Orfeu Negro (Black Orpheus), the Golden Palm winner at the 1959 Cannes festival. In June, a month before Karlovy Vary, Orfeu was the key film in the 24-film retrospective programmed at the Troia festival in Portugal to celebrate the discovery of Brazil 500...

The paper deals with two film adaptations of the myth of Orpheus that were made in Brazil in 1959 and 1999. In view of the fact that in both films Orpheus appears as Afro-Brazilian, these two versions of the myth may be related to Sartre’s concept of Black Orpheus, and the movement of Negritude that appeared in Paris in the 1930s as an answer of the black francophone intellectuals to racial myths and colonial stereotypes. Regarding the fact that the European attitude towards ancient Greece is also characteristic of another kind of colonialism that is cultural, based on the claim of exclusive right to this past, the ancient myth that often appears only as a mirror of this relationship, functions in these films as a space for subversion and resistance to different types of colonial power. The films that are the focus of this paper are Black Orpheus (1959) directed by Marcel Camus, which is a French-Italian-Brazilian co-production, and Orpheus (1999) by Carlos Diegues, an entirely Brazilian production. Both films were inspired by the theatrical play written by Vinícius de Moraes, Orfeu da Conceição (1953). Although he himself participated in the production of Camus’s Black Orpheus, in the end he refused to be credited because in the film, the main idea of his drama was lost, which was to show Afro-Brazilians as the main protagonists of the Greek myth pointing out injustices and difficulties of Afro-Brazilian people in social reality, but also in the context of cultural and racial hegemony that clearly claimed the ancient Greek myth to be the heritage of European white men.  Similarly, disappointed, Carlos Diegues decided to make another film together with Vinícius de Moraes. However, the plan was interrupted by Moraes death in 1980, but Diegues succeeded in filming it in 1999. The paper compares the two films focusing on the question to which extent these films challenge or confirm European cultural elitism, racial stereotypes and class inequalities.

Este artigo consiste na análise de algumas canções (de Vinicius de Moraes e Tom Jobim) da peça Orfeu da Conceição (1956), de Vinicius de Moraes, e da adaptação da  peça ao cinema, Orfeu negro (1959), de Marcel Camus (canções de Vinicius, Tom, Luiz Bonfá e Antônio Maria). Diversos ritmos são encontrados (samba-canção, frevo,  pontos de macumba); uma difusão inédita de ritmos brasileiros. Após o filme, as canções se celebrizaram, sendo regravadas pela bossa nova e mimetizadas pelos  músicos de jazz americanos nos anos 1960. É inegável a importância dos álbuns, consagrando principalmente Vinicius de Moraes no panorama internacional. Neste artigo  bserva-se a diferença entre as canções dos álbuns e as que surgiriam a seguir, como uma das raízes primordiais da música popular brasileira das décadas seguintes.
