Lively, imaginative transfer of the Greek myth to carnival in Rio. Dazzling colors, costumes...excellent camera work. Non-stop music, mostly samba, gave the film a propulsive dynamic that never let up.
Both leads were beautiful...the dancing exciting...the whole effect was a magical visit to a place where camaraderie and fun were the currency of the day. Some of the interactions were silly but they fit right in with the rest.
An amazing production that stands the test of time.
