Cinelatte Film Series presents I am Cuba

"I am Cuba" Directed by Mikhail Kalatozov, 140 minutes "I am Cuba" 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. Presented jointly by master directors Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese, I Am Cuba has received universal acclaim and admiration from around the world as a true classic of world cinema.  In Spanish and Russian with English subtitles.
