This fiIm by Tomás Gutiérrez AIea is the most widely renowned work in the history of Cuban cinema. After his wife and famiIy fIee in the wake of the Bay of Pigs invasion, the bourgeois intelIectuaI Sergio (Sergio Corrieri) passes his days wandering Havana in idle reflection, his amorous entanglements and poIitical ambivaIence gradually giving way to a mounting sense of alienation. With this adaptation of an innovative novel by Edmundo Desnoes, Gutiérrez Alea developed a cinematic styIe as radical as the times he was chronicling, creating a colIage of vivid impressions through the use of experimentaI editing techniques, archival material, and spontaneousIy shot street scenes. Intimate and denseIy layered, Memories of Underdevelopment provides a biting indictment of its protagonist’s disengagement and an extraordinary gIimpse of life in postrevolutionary Cuba.
