DVD I AM CUBA

Popis - I AM CUBA:
This astonishing and underrated film is blessed with some of the most extraordinary camerawork in film history. Ostensibly this is Communist propaganda, celebrating the progress achieved by the Cuban Revolution and dramatizing four examples of injustice to the common man in pre-Revolutionary Cuba. Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola plucked this film from obscurity and campaigned to restore it in the early 1990s. The link that holds the film together is a spoken monologue beginning each sequence with the words 'Soy Cuba' ('I Am Cuba'). It's still pushing the boundaries of pure cinema, a stirring and unforgettable experience. Filmed by great Russian director Mikhail Kalatozov during 1963-1964, 'I Am Cuba' ('Soy Cuba') is an epic poem to Communist kitsch. It's a dramatic journey though the decadence of Batista Havana and the grinding poverty and oppression of the Cuban people.
