DFS Film: "I am Cuba"

Interweaving four stories of the revolution, his wildly schizophrenic celebration of Communist kitsch sparkles with Latin sensuality.

Sunday, October 12, 2014
4:00pm – 6:00pm
BFVAC - Loew Auditorium
Intended Audience(s): Public
Categories: Films
Fee required.

Prof. Rachel Hynson from the Department of Latin American, Latino, and Caribbean Studies will introduce the film. Her research focuses on sexuality, the family, and revolution in Cuba.

Hidden in Soviet archives for 30 years, this wildly schizophrenic celebration of Communist kitsch mixes Slavic solemnity with Latin sensuality--a whirling, feverish dance through both the decadence of Batista's Havana and the oppressive poverty of the Cuban people. In four stories of the revolution, the astonishingly acrobatic camera takes the viewer on a rapturous rollercoaster ride of bathing beauties, landless peasants, fascist police and student revolutionaries. D: Mikhail Kalatov, Cuba/USSR, subtitled, 1964, 141m
