I Am Cuba
Dir. Mikhail Kalazov Cuba/USSR 1964
This Soviet/Cuban collaboration is a kaleidoscopic exposé of Cuba during the time of Batista. It portrays a land of diametric opposites - great wealth and abject poverty. The political agenda is unapologetic. Within a structure of four short stories of hardship and abuse, it presents the crushing exploitation of Cubaźs people and resources, revealing the underlying causes of Castro's revolution. Epic tracking shots and an array of images in high contrast black and white poetically convey the conflicting lifestyles of the monied elite and the barely subsisiting underclass. Lyrical, joyous yet harsh and unwavering, I Am Cuba is a dazzling work. (141m)
