IL AIY (The House of Life) (1989) is David Byrne's breathtakingly impressionistic documentary on Candombl, the Brazilian spirit cult of the Bahia region. This 'docu-poem' eschews all traditional documentary techniques and evokes the mood of the beautiful expressive religion of Candombl: its life affirming rituals, rhythms, music, dress and entire culture.
