Trying to steer the Cuban discussion into art topica
[as revolutionary art is always a fave discussion topic
of mine:]
Oddly enough, the sundance channel just played
"A History Of Underdevelopment," a documentary made
in Cuba about the disappearance of hope in Cuba
post- Castro....
It was certainly not an invigorating film, ending with
the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Speech Castro gave
about how Cuba would not back down, how they
were United as a nation, that this was a test of thier
independance and unity as a nation- and of course, they
backed down. Fitting ending I think...
Does anyone know of any other movies made within
Communist Regimes? I was fascinated by a look at
Animation in the Soviet Union on Bravo's animation
festival a while back; but these films seem very hard to
find in the USA.
