I Am Cuba is a cinephile's wet dream, a collage of Herculean feats of technical wizardry that would be easy to dismiss if it wasn't so humane.

Some of the most exhilarating camera movements and most luscious black-and-white cinematography you'll ever see inhabit this singular, delirious 141-minute communist propaganda epic.

Politically nave maybe, but it works beautifully as straight cinema.
December 30, 2006 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… -
Cinema's singular dream, so often betrayed elsewhere, is to deliver such visions as this.
February 9, 2006 | Full Review… -
It is one of the most visually hypnotic films ever -- and that's not hyperbole.
September 30, 2005 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review… -
The resulting assault is so epicly impassioned it's less about Cuba per se than the fusillade of movement, shadow, light, vertigo, and landscape on the viewer's tender optic nerves.

Audience Reviews for I Am Cuba
-
Jan 09, 2012Good from an historical perspective but not from a viewing one. The best copies of this film and woefully hard on the eyes. An early Soviet look at the outcomes of the Cuban revolution. Naturally a positive one.John B Super Reviewer

Sep 13, 2011Kalatozov constructs an opera of striking visuals, cinematic wonders and groundbreaking technical qualities, featuring the most magnificent camera work on celluloid. The spirit of revolution and rebellion is vivid and alive throughout, but the superb poetry displayed in every frame accentuates more the meaning of true cinema construction rather than the intoxicating Communist propaganda that the Soviet Union wanted to spread in the 60s through the Cuban ideals and their great strength of will to die for an ideal (which, in my honest opinion, was bigger than themselves). 100/100Edgar C Super Reviewer

May 09, 2011A revolutionary cinematographic! Astounding film! Beautiful black and white photography, Kalatozov use a magnificently camera movements plan sequence. Visually hypnotic, great storys with politic and poetry, the fight for a revolution and free oneself of a dictatorial goverment.Lucas M Super Reviewer

Jul 23, 2009B&W set of four stories about Cuba filmed with a communist eye, and a collaboration between Cuba and the USSR. Absolutely beautiful film-making - but I just couldn't engage with it. So those two hours, twenty one minutes felt soooo looonnnnggg. One of those films I should like but don't ... *sigh*. Which means if you want to see it, ignore this review, and see it and you'll love it.Lesley N Super Reviewer
