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 sensous 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 rollercoaster ride of bathing beauties, landless peasants and student revolutionaries. The first movie ever jointly presented by master directors Fracis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese, I AM CUBA will change your view of cinema forever!
