Eduardo Coutinho, in his astonishingly simple, emotionally compelling documentary delves into the songs that hold meaning in people's lives. The documentary is composed of 18 sessions where the director engages his subjects in conversation about the song they picked. The end product is deeply personal stories about music and its intimate connection to memory, love, loss, self-discovery, regret, death, and life.
Eduardo Coutinho, Brazil’s foremost documentary filmmaker, was tragically murdered by his son in February of this year. “As Canções” is the last film he released theatrically. Other films by Coutinho will be screened at the UCLA Film and Television Archive’s “Cruzamentos: Contemporary Brazilian Documentary” series that will begin in June.
