series Cuba: Golden 60s
Directed by Mikhail Kalatozov | 1964
With Sergio Corrieri, Salvador Wood, José Gallardo
"The film's high-contrast black-and-white photography, which renders palm trees and sugar cane fields a searing white against an inky sky, illustrates the revolution's explosive polarities and burning passions."
—The New York Times
This retina-dazzling agitprop masterwork is Soviet filmmaker Mikhail Kalatozov’s delirious dream vision of the Cuban revolution, in which the Felliniesque decadence of Batista-era Havana gives way to the explosion of Castro’s guerrilla uprising. A head-spinning mix of Constructivist aesthetics and sensuous photography, I Am Cuba pulses with “some of the most exhilarating camera movements and most luscious black-and-white cinematography you'll ever see” (Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader).
