1001 movies to see before you die. A thoughtful part documentary, part film showing life in Cuba after the Bay of Pigs. It's about individual freedom in a state run system. It was on YouTube.

A first watch of the film will make the questions and after the second one the film trascends every film edition and you'll have the answers. The voice-over, the nihilism of the main character and the ambiguity of the end build "The Taxi Driver of Cuban Cinema". 8/10

A chronicle of an unusual revolution, one that

A chronicle of an unusual revolution, one that was perhaps not as comprehensive, sweeping, and hotheaded as others, where a slower pace allowed many to simply leave rather than face violent retribution, and for those who remained to ponder ideology rather than survival. Rather than using simple characters to shift focus and significance to the greater social context alone, Alea introduces an in-depth character study and interlaces it with the revolutionary spirit around him as contrast; Corrieri's Sergio is at once somewhat ideologically aligned with the revolution (or so he claims), but is also a target of it as a well-to-do property owner. The film sees his intellectual and pseudo-intellectual tendencies clash against a jaded personality and moral ambiguity in an environment of change. Sergio is a character whose worldview gradually falls apart by social movements, but who rationalizes such change in a philosopical context that absolves himself of blame or responsibility, continuing to judge those around him while ignoring his own negative influences. The narration is considered exceedingly unreliable, intended to present a moment in history as it would be understood in the moment and recalled later; that is, subjectively. (4/5)
