Les Blank's Always for pleasure, 1978, USA

A short introduction to the genius of film director Les Blank, who passed away this April at the age of 77. "An intense insider’s portrait of New Orleans’ street celebrations and unique cultural gumbo: Second-line parades, Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest. Features live music from Professor Longhair, the Wild Tchoupitoulas, the Neville Brothers and more. This glorious, soul-satisfying film is among Blank’s special masterworks"
