Soy Cuba

A collaboration between Cuba and The USSR, following the Cuban Revolution. This Movie is my new favourite. Cinemetography is redunkulous. No other movie can compare, in any genre and that says a lot.
I would have really liked to show a clip, but the crappy quality videos on the internet give it no justice. It's unfortunate neither countries were happy with the film... thus setting it aside and never picking it up again until 1992 when it was rediscovered, rereleased and placed at the top of the list with some of greatest films of all time. Directed by Mikhail Kalatozov, written by Enrique Pineda Barnet and Yevgeny Yevtushenko (the poet)

There's also this cool documentary about the movie called The Siberian Mammoth. Click to watch it, if you're interested. Anyway, enjoy some of these great stills from the movie.
