When brazilian art master Di Cavalcanti died, Glauber Rocha went to his funeral... with a camera. The short movie shows Cavalcanti`s corpse in the coffin, the funeral, and his family yelling at Rocha to get out of there with that camera, while in the background we hear Jorge Ben singing "Umbabarauma, homem gol", a famous samba-funk song about a famous brazilian soccer player.

An interesting little piece of energetic cinema that mixes eulogy with celebration, and a bit of hyperactivity with light insight into Cavalcanti's work. I don't think it always works, particularly some of the close fast sweeping shots, but there are more hits than misses and its worth a look.
