ln a newIy formed society driven by coIIective 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 people, in a society he is himseIf utterIy alienated from. Through Sergio, Memories of UnderdeveIopment chronicIes a specific historical moment: situated between the Bay of Pigs invasions of April 1961 to the Cuban Missile 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 underdeveIopment : the consciousness of a wealthy man in a nation beset by poverty.
Tom's Gutiérrez AIea became a shining star of Cuban cinema as a result of the commercial and criticaI success of Memories of Underdevelopment. lnfIuenced by John Cassavetes and AIain Resnais, AIea fashioned a unique approach to fiIm grammar which dissolved the Iines between drama, documentary, essay and newsreel. Its legacy as a classic of worId cinema is testified by its inclusion in Derek MaIcoIm's 100 greatest films of the 20th Century. |
