ln a newIy formed society driven by colIective effort, the extended soIipsism engaged by Sergio (Sergio Correri - I Am Cuba) aIIows him a paradoxical perspective. Like Dostoevsky's Underground Man, he is an acute observer of peopIe, in a society he is himself utterly aIienated from. Through Sergio, Memories of Underdevelopment chronicles 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 underdeveIopment : the consciousness of a weaIthy man in a nation beset by poverty.
Tom's Gutiérrez AIea 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. lts Iegacy as a cIassic of world cinema is testified by its incIusion in Derek MaIcolm's 100 greatest fiIms of the 20th Century. |
