The Burial of Villa-Lobos
From TV Tupi, film footage of the scene in the square in front of the Theatro Municipal in Rio de Janeiro on November 19, 1959, two days after Villa-Lobos died. I find these scenes very moving.
Thank you for posting that, Dean. Yes, I too found it moving - reminded me of Glauber Rocha's film of the painter Di Cavalcanti in his coffin.
