series Cuba: Golden 60s
Directed by Tomás Gutiérrez Alea | 1968
With Sergio Corrieri, Daisy Granados, Eslinda Núñez
"Hugely effective and moving, and it is complete in the way that very few movies ever are."
—The New York Times
The first post-revolution Cuban film to gain international acclaim is a breathlessly inventive portrait of an alienated bourgeois intellectual (Corrieri) coming to terms with life under Communism—as those around him flee and the missile crisis hovers tensely in the background. Cannily employing montage, still photos, and documentary footage, this stylistic tour-de-force espouses a surprisingly ambivalent attitude toward the changes wrought by the revolution.
