Socialism idealized by film
Cuba, USSR team up
By Fred Poyner
Film Critic
Propaganda films — intentionally
created or otherwise — have always
been slightly amusing. This Sunday’s
UPC-sponsored film at the Mary
Riepma Ross Film Theater is “I Am
r——---Cuba,” a joint
MOVie Cuba/USSR re
lease dating back
Review to 1964, a la Bay
ot Pigs and the
Cuban Missile
Crisis.
It isn’t a simple
matter of director
Mikhail
Kalatozov having

unduly by the Cold War climate. His
idealization of a nation struggling in
the grip of all manners of Western
imperialism is at times provocative.
One such scene, from the first of
the story’s four parts, contrasts the
nightmarish experience of a young
Cuban girl in a Havana nightclub
with a pseudo-New York socialite’s
confrontation with the ghetto.
But as a commentary depicting
the “rightness” of socialism, revolu
tionary and capitalist stereotypes are
beat to death.
Despite some fantastic black and
white photography by cameraman
Sergei Urusevsky, the images that
bombard the audience for more than
two hours have a strained quality.
It is as if Kalatozov feels he has to
convince the viewer of something:
Revolution is necessary; the West is
bad? Who knows.
This film has just recently been
shown outside of the Bloc, which
would explain some of its overblown
tendencies.
Kalatozov collaborated with Cu
ban Pravda correspondent Yevgeny
Yevtushenko in devising a script, in
an effort to create a story on par with
“Potemkin.” Unlike that film, how
ever, “I Am Cuba” falls short of
tapping into the power of film as a
visionary medium.
I Film: “I Am Cuba”
| Stars: Luz Maia Collazo, Raul
Garcia
j 'Director: Mikhail Kalatozov
| Rating: NR
Grade: C
Five words: Provocative Cold
War propaganda abounds
Two further notes are worth men
tion. For the Che Guevara fans out
there, the final part is devoted to
battle images of the Sierra Maestra.
(Guevara acted as an unofficial ad
viser on some of the sets.)
Also, a scene of the drive-in screen
of Batista getting firebombed vaguely
resembles some of the blaring futur
ism found in “Panic In the Year Zero,”
an obscure ’60s sci-fi piece.
“I Am Cuba” shows Sunday at the
Ross Theater at 1:30, 4, 6:30 and 9
p.m.
