My ex-husband just sent me this. I guess you could call it an allegory.
I’ve been trying to think of a good video to post for summer solstice, and since it’s also World Music Day, I decided on this, the final scene from the 1959 Brazilian film Orfeu Negro (Black Orpheus). It might not make you believe that music makes the sun rise, but if it doesn’t put a smile on your face, there may be something wrong with you.
