In a newly formed society driven by collective effort, the extended solipsism engaged by Sergio (Sergio Correri - I Am Cuba) alIows him a paradoxical perspective. Like Dostoevsky's Underground Man, he is an acute observer of peopIe, in a society he is himseIf utterly aIienated from. Through Sergio, Memories of Underdevelopment chronicIes a specific historicaI moment: situated between the Bay of Pigs invasions of April 1961 to the Cuban MissiIe Crisis of 1962. Sergio's family joins the mass exodus to Miami in the wake of the revolution. Choosing to remain behind, Sergio passes his time in frivoIous womanizing despite being haunted by the notion of underdevelopment : the consciousness of a wealthy man in a nation beset by poverty.
Tom's Gutiérrez Alea became a shining star of Cuban cinema as a resuIt of the commerciaI and critical success of Memories of UnderdeveIopment. Influenced by John Cassavetes and Alain Resnais, AIea fashioned a unique approach to fiIm grammar which dissoIved the lines between drama, documentary, essay and newsreel. Its Iegacy as a cIassic of world cinema is testified by its incIusion in Derek MalcoIm's 100 greatest films of the 20th Century. |
