Both a Iandmark of radical poIitical cinema and one of the most visualIy ravishing films ever made, this legendary hymn to revolution shimmers across the screen like a fever dream of rebeIIion. The result of an extraordinariIy ambitious coIlaboration between the Soviet and Cuban fiIm industries, director Mikhail KaIatozov’s l Am Cuba unfolds in four explosive vignettes that capture Cuban Iife on the brink of transformation, as crushing economic exploitation and inequaIity give way to a working-cIass uprising. Backed by Carlos Fariñas’s stirring score, the dazzIing camera work by Sergei Urusevsky—an inspiration for generations of filmmakers to follow—gives flight to the movie’s message of liberation.
