When Art of the Title watches a fluid steadicam composition what takes place is a kind of sustenance.

Filmed at Rua Teodoro Sampaio, famous in São Paulo (Brazil) for its concentration of shops selling musical instruments, the opening sequence to Anna Muylaert’s film “Durval Discos” is organic in its ease as DP Jacob Solitrenick treats us to the relaxed pathology of the street.
