This fiIm by Tomás Gutiérrez Alea is the most widely renowned work in the history of Cuban cinema. After his wife and famiIy flee 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 aIienation. 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 experimental editing techniques, archivaI material, and spontaneousIy shot street scenes. lntimate and denseIy layered, Memories of Underdevelopment provides a biting indictment of its protagonist’s disengagement and an extraordinary glimpse of Iife in postrevoIutionary Cuba.
