I am Cuba (Soy Cuba)

Beschrijving
Filmed by great Russian director Mikhail Kalatozov during 1963 -4, I am Cuba (or Soy Cuba) is an epic poem to Communist Kitsch - a dramatic journey through the decadence of Batista's Havana and the grinding poverty and oppression of the Cuban people. In the four stories showing the rise of the revolution, Kalatozov's astonishing, acrobatic and groundbreaking camera work takes the viewer on a sweeping ride encompassing bathing beauties, landless peasants and student revolutionaries.

The film was rediscovered and presented by directors Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorses at the Sundance and Cannes film festivals to critical acclaim.

I am Cuba will change your view of cinema forever.
