Death takes no holiday

Orfeu negro

(1959)
Funny, everything I planned to say about this, I seem to have said in previous posts (click on the title link), even down to the Keats allusion. But I'll push that one a bit farther: if beauty is indeed truth, then a sadder beautiful truth is that sadness never ends, but happiness does. Take that with you to Carnaval.
