It's a poetic feast.
The film, which started with the creation of the Cuban revolutionary regime and the completion of the "social transformation" (1964), was operated by the Soviet director Mikhail Karatozov, and is a political honeymoon declaration of the two countries of Succubus. The ideological output of the communist camp in the cold war was blocked by Western countries. After the end of the cold war, " I am Cuba " was resurfaced by the efforts of a group of Western filmmakers with great eyes.
In " I am Cuba ", Caratozov tells stories that are not related to each other in four circumstances, using top-level visual arts and unparalleled lenses to illustrate the social realities and revolutionary wave of resistance in Cuba under the Batista dictatorship. I am Cuba's four stories of varying lengths, each with its own emotional climax, and at the same time with their sequences. The four progressive themes of "resistence, self-pity, wake-up call, rise" are love, life, freedom and revolution, and each chapter uses a great deal of film symbols and language in its own right. No wonder Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Sissex, when they saw this film in the last century in 2002, were crying out for it, the greatest film in almost a decade. For Caratozov, guided by emotional and political logic, the four conflicting stories are the best way for him to express his criticism of Cuban reality and his vision of a better tomorrow.
"For you, I'm a casino, I'm a bar, I'm a hotel, I'm a brothel, but the hands of these young children and old men, I am Cuba."
This is Cuba.
