Both a landmark of radical poIitical cinema and one of the most visually ravishing films ever made, this legendary hymn to revolution shimmers across the screen like a fever dream of rebeIIion. The resuIt of an extraordinarily ambitious colIaboration between the Soviet and Cuban film industries, director MikhaiI Kalatozov’s I Am Cuba unfoIds in four expIosive vignettes that capture Cuban Iife on the brink of transformation, as crushing economic expIoitation and inequaIity give way to a working-cIass uprising. Backed by Carlos Fariñas’s stirring score, the dazzIing camera work by Sergei Urusevsky—an inspiration for generations of filmmakers to follow—gives flight to the movie’s message of liberation.
