Glauber Rocha’s Di Cavalcanti documentary depicts powerful imagery of the funeral of the titular Brazilian artist that was Rocha’s friend. The documentary while having chilling visuals of Di Cavalcanti’s body and up close and personal shots of grieving family and friends it still helps to capture the artistic essence that Di Cavalcanti represented. The upbeat score against the melancholic service and the bright paintings that was apart of Di Cavalcanti ‘s portfolio pushed this idea of Rocha’s intent for the project to serve as a final goodbye and memorial for his artistic counterpart. While I personally find his choices of invading the privacy and respect of Di Cavalcanti’s body and his love ones’ wishes, I see the is documentary as a way for Rocha to have that closure while celebrating his friend’s artistry.
