'SOY CUBA' ('I AM CUBA') FUNERAL CORTEGE SCENE

We are fascinated with some of the scenes from "Soy Cuba" (I Am Cuba", 1964) movie by the soviet filmmaker Mikhail Kalazatov, so avant-garde. This continuous scene, almost an impossible one, raises the camera with a crane, goes to handheld, and finally is hung with two cables over the street.

Recently Adolescence made news by using "single take" in lieu of editing to tell the story over 4 episodes. 
Each episode was a SINGLE 1 hour long take.

Was wondering if Barantini was influenced by Kalazatov
