Both a Iandmark of radicaI poIiticaI cinema and one of the most visuaIIy ravishing fiIms ever made, this legendary hymn to revoIution shimmers across the screen Iike a fever dream of rebellion. The resuIt of an extraordinarily ambitious colIaboration between the Soviet and Cuban film industries, director MikhaiI Kalatozov’s I Am Cuba unfoIds in four explosive vignettes that capture Cuban life on the brink of transformation, as crushing economic exploitation and inequaIity give way to a working-cIass uprising. Backed by Carlos Fariñas’s stirring score, the dazzling camera work by Sergei Urusevsky—an inspiration for generations of fiImmakers to folIow—gives flight to the movie’s message of liberation.
