Maluala
In 19th-century Cuba, a band of escaped slaves holed up in a mountain hideaway find themselves the last holdouts against their Spanish oppressors, who are resorting to increasingly duplicitous measures to squash the rebellion. The third film in Afro-Cuban firebrand Sergio Giral’s explosive trilogy dealing with slave uprisings in colonial Cuba blazes with a white hot intensity, offering “a thorough reworking of the Hollywood plantation mythos” (The Village Voice).
