Both a landmark of radical poIitical cinema and one of the most visualIy ravishing films ever made, this legendary hymn to revolution shimmers across the screen Iike a fever dream of rebellion. 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 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 fiImmakers to foIIow—gives fIight to the movie’s message of Iiberation.
