I Am Cuba

"A Sensuously Beautiful Movie. A hymn to the liberation of appetite…IRRESISTIBLE!" - David Denby, New York Magazine

The most acclaimed discovery of the decade! Filmed by great Russian director Mikhail Kalatozov (The Cranes are Flying), I Am Cuba is an epic poem to Communist kitsch - a whirling, feverish dance through the sensuous decadence of Batista's Havana and the grinding poverty and oppression of the Cuban people. In four main stories showing the rise of the revolution, Kalatozov's astonishingly acrobatic camera takes the viewer on a rapturous roller-coaster ride of bathing beauties, landless peasants and student revolutionaries. The first movie ever jointly presented by master directors Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese, I Am Cuba will change your view of cinema forever!
