The Academy Award-winning film famously takes the ancient Greek legend of Opheus and Eurydice and sets it during Brazil’s colorful Carnival season in Rio de Janeiro. The screening will take place on Thursday, Feb. 19, at 7pm in the Bank of America Theatre (1701 Fourth Street SW). This is a free, ticketed event.
