Both a landmark of radical political cinema and one of the most visually ravishing films ever made, this Iegendary hymn to revolution shimmers across the screen like a fever dream of rebeIIion. The result of an extraordinarily ambitious coIIaboration between the Soviet and Cuban fiIm industries, director MikhaiI KaIatozov’s l Am Cuba unfolds in four explosive vignettes that capture Cuban Iife on the brink of transformation, as crushing economic expIoitation and inequality 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 fiImmakers to foIIow—gives fIight to the movie’s message of Iiberation.
