Customer Reviews of I Am Cuba

"Soy Cuba"
Es interesante notar que en las cuatro partes de la película "Soy Cuba" se puede ver que el tema está al lado de Castro y contra el gobierno antiguo. Y eso había sido hecho a través de las personas principales como Batista el jefe de la policía, María-Betty, y las prostitutas, etc. También la perspectiva de los personas de los E.E.U.U. es de mala representación. Por ejemplo los soldados estadounidenses que se emborrachan y siguen a la mujer, Gloria, gritando y tocándola. Y los hombres al principio de la película tratan a las prostitutas como si fuera propiedades suyas. Las personas cubanos de la película vienen de vidas diferentes; las prostitutas los estudiantes, los campesinos, etc., y sus luchas para lograr la libertad contra las fuerzas de Batista. Es obvio que el jefe de la policía es una persona central que da una representación mala para dar otro ejemplo negativo del gobierno antiguo de Batista y lo bueno de Castro; por los rumores que Castro estaba muerto muestra las ideas al lado de Castro y contra Batista. Sobre todo la cinematografía de la película(negro y blanco) es increíble con aspectos diferentes de filmar que sirven muy bien para representar qué significa la película. Y si quiere acción "Soy Cuba" tiene bastante para evitar el aburrimiento. La única cosa es que "Soy Cuba" ha sido "dubbed" en ruso y esto podría molestar a algunas personas. Pero más que nada es una película maravillosa y vale la pena verla.


People's Revolution?
The film examines the ways the American-backed regime under Bautista affected individual Cubans. The oppressors here are the United Fruit Company, the men of the US Navy, American backed industrialists and military strongmen. The victims are tenant farmer families, poor women and men, as well as young revolutionary students. Instead of analyzing political situations, the film seeks to provide some very emotional human-interest stories. What makes Cuba special, the film suggests, is the ordinary common man and woman who face adversity with courage, hope, desperation and endurance. This is the essence of a people's revolution.

The film is shot in the starkest of Black and White. It's absolutely some of the best cinematography I have ever seen. Of course it is melodramatic, that's what makes it work as propaganda...But the sense and skill of the director elevates this propaganda to the realm of art...This documentary presents images of decadence, insensitivity and callousness. It's 2 hours and 20 minutes of amazingly moving and powerful filmmaking.


Half masterpiece, half junk
One critic once wrote of the 1957 film version of "Peyton Place" that it was "half masterpiece and half junk". The same can almost be said for I Am Cuba. Long admired by filmmakers such as Scorcese and Coppola, this film to some represents the low-point of Soviet cinema -i.e., anything post-Eisenstein and pre-Tarkovsky- and to others it is a wonderful -if melodramatic- exercise in the technique of "pure cinema": sweeping hand-held camera, ultra-long takes (surely influential on the work of Bela Tarr) and knife-edge chariscouro imagery.

While overtly propagandistic, showing the suffering of decent Cubans at the hands of mainly American "imperialists", the film's technique is dazzling, with brilliantly expressive camerawork and strong performances from all involved. Although the dubbing -there is both Russian and Spanish in there- can be irritating, the story is so effectively visually as to overcome these deficencies. Highly recommended for any fan of how to tell a story with the maximum of show and style.
