The most acclaimed discovery of the decade! Filmed by great Russian director Mikhail Kalatozov (The Cranes are Flying) I am cuba is an epic poem to Communist kitsch- a whirling, feverish dance through the sensuous decadence of Batista’s Havana and the grinding poverty and oppression of the Cuban people.
In four main stories showing the rise of the revolution, Kalatozov’s astonishingly acrobatic camera takes the viewer on a rapturous rollercoaster ride of bathing beauties, landless peasants and student revolutionaries.
The first movie ever jointly presented by master directors Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese, I am Cuba will change your view of cinema forever.
El descubrimiento más aclamado de la decada! Rodada por el gran director ruso Mikhail Kalatozov (The Cranes are Flying) I am Cuba es un poema epico al kitsch comunista – un giro, una febril danza sobre la decadencia de la Habana de Batista y el rechinar de la pobreza y la opresión de la gente cubana.
En cuatro historias principales, Kalatozov demuestra el crecimiento de la revolución asombrando al espectador en un entusiasta baile de bellezas, campesinos sin tierra y estudiantes revolucionarios.
La primera pelicula presentada por los maestros del cine Francis Ford Coppola y Martin Scorsese, I am Cuba, cambiará su visión del cine para siempre!.
