I Am Cuba (1964)
Directed by Mikhail Kalatozov
“For you, I am the casino, the bar, the hotels. But the hands of these children and old people, are also me.”
Drama · 2h 21m
A study in contrasts set in and around Havana that explores Cuba's 1959 revolution: a young woman's fascination with the excess of an American-owned casino leads to her downfall in the eyes of her street vendor boyfriend; a tenant farmer revolts the only way he knows how, attacking the land he works; university students gain first-hand knowledge of political upheaval; and, in the hills outside the city, the members of a poor peasant family are patriotically swept up into the burgeoning revolt.
