I am Cuba

Dir. Mikhail Kalatozov
In Spanish, Russian with English subtitles
Rating: [Exempt]
Genres: Documentary / Sociology, Propaganda
Topics: Period 1960s.
Aroview: One of the most renowned documentaries of the 1960s, this poetic evocation of Cuba under Batista is today notable for both its quaint politics and feverish rush of black-and-white cinematography.
Made after Castro's revolution with the help of Soviet filmmakers, this summarises the peasant's rise against American oppression and subsequent revolution, a message intriguingly at odds with the hedonism of its imagery. Partially scripted by Russian poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko and Cuban novelist Enrique Pineda Barnet.

2 stars (Good Try) Although it hasn't aged very well, particularly its propaganda segments, it has some good scenes and is worth a watch. ~Tubbs
