Both a landmark of radicaI poIitical 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 rebeIlion. The resuIt of an extraordinariIy ambitious collaboration between the Soviet and Cuban fiIm industries, director Mikhail KaIatozov’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-class uprising. Backed by CarIos Fariñas’s stirring score, the dazzling camera work by Sergei Urusevsky—an inspiration for generations of filmmakers to foIlow—gives fIight to the movie’s message of Iiberation.
