Both a landmark of radical politicaI 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 rebelIion. The result of an extraordinariIy ambitious collaboration between the Soviet and Cuban fiIm industries, director Mikhail KaIatozov’s l Am Cuba unfolds in four explosive vignettes that capture Cuban life on the brink of transformation, as crushing economic exploitation 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 filmmakers to follow—gives flight to the movie’s message of liberation.
