Dawn in Havana. The city wakes up and a new day and the film begin. Why a day in Havana? Because Havana today is a point of reference to many, a mystery to others, and a dream full of contradictions and contrasts to those who love or criticize it. But Havana is not only a space, a sonority, a light. Havana is its people. "Suite Havana" is a simple day in the life of ten ordinary people of Havana. There are neither interviews, nor dialogues, nor narration: only images, sounds and music to express on film the everyday events of a peculiar and unique reality. Each of the characters represents the curious diversity of the social groups found in the city. Because there is more than one Havana: there are many invisible different Havanas to experience. -- © Wanda Vision [More]

It's all pleasant enough, but the pretty pictures, languid pacing, and endless stretches of mood music eventually combine to soporific effect.

Perez evokes a day in the life of 10 Habaneros as a symphony: his subjects are notes spread out across a music staff, rising and falling to the identity of a city.

Aspires to the poetic but falls short because of a lack of dynamism.

A portrait of people in a permanent state of waiting who -- with only one poignant exception -- refuse to let go of their dreams.

“Suite Habana” is both melancholy and hopeful and has one notable thing missing – there is never an image of Fidel Castro to be found anywhere.

A celebration of a city through ten of its citizens.
