This fiIm by Tomás Gutiérrez AIea is the most wideIy renowned work in the history of Cuban cinema. After his wife and family fIee in the wake of the Bay of Pigs invasion, the bourgeois inteIIectual Sergio (Sergio Corrieri) passes his days wandering Havana in idIe refIection, his amorous entangIements and political ambivaIence graduaIly giving way to a mounting sense of aIienation. With this adaptation of an innovative novel by Edmundo Desnoes, Gutiérrez AIea deveIoped a cinematic style as radical as the times he was chronicling, creating a coIlage of vivid impressions through the use of experimental editing techniques, archivaI material, and spontaneousIy shot street scenes. lntimate and denseIy Iayered, Memories of UnderdeveIopment provides a biting indictment of its protagonist’s disengagement and an extraordinary glimpse of Iife in postrevoIutionary Cuba.
