SOY CUBA (I AM CUBA)
Both a landmark of radical political 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 rebellion. The result of an extraordinarily ambitious collaboration between the Soviet and Cuban film industries, director Mikhail Kalatozov’s I 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 Carlos 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.
To celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of one of cinema’s most beguiling gems, see this beautiful restoration of a rarely-seen classic which was banned in the US until the '90s.DramaPT2H21MPG2025-01-12Sergio Corrieri
