Débuté seulement une semaine après la crise des missiles cubains et destiné à être la réponse de Cuba à la fois au chef d’oeuvre de propagande de Sergei Eisenstein, Le Cuirassé Potemkine, et la romance en roues libres de Jean-Luc Godard, A bout de souffle, SOY CUBA (I Am Cuba) a fini par être quelques chose d’unique. L’intrigue, ou plutôt les intrigues explore le monde séduisant, décadent (et merveilleusement photogénique) du Cuba de Batista.
À travers quatre histoires, SOY CUBA nous décrit la lente évolution de Cuba, du régime de Batista jusqu’à la révolution de Fidel Castro. Quatre récits qui renforcent l’idéal communiste face à la main mise du capitalisme. Tout au long de ces épisodes, Cuba se libère de ses dépendances politiques pour affirmer son identité, singulière et autonome, avec ses contradictions et ses espérances. La vie de ce film fut brève à sa sortie nationale en Union Soviétique: une seule projection et au placard ! Pour la simple raison que le film montrait un Cuba de la débauche, trop sensuel et lyrique, ce qui ne correspondait pas aux normes imposées par le leader Massimo. Ensuite, guerre froide oblige, la censure du film continua jusqu’à ce qu’un certain Martin Scorsese le (re)découvre… Chanceux sont ceux qui ne l’ont encore jamais vu et pourront le découvrir. Un petit bijou!

English
A film-poem about the beginning and birth of Cuban revolution.
Started only a week after the Cuban missile crisis and designed to be Cuba’s answer to both Sergei Eisenstein’s propaganda masterpiece, Potemkin, and Jean-Luc Godard’s freewheeling romance, Breathless (A bout de souffle), I Am Cuba (SOY CUBA) turned out to be something quite unique. The plot, or rather plots, expansively explores the seductive, decadent (and marvelously photogenic) world of Batista’s Cuba – juxtaposing images of extremes with seamless beauty. I Am Cuba (SOY CUBA) has recently been reified by Hollywood’s great directors, many years after it languished in obscurity, following its initial popularity and acclaim post-release.
Started only a week after the Cuban missile crisis and designed to be Cuba’s answer to both Sergei Eisenstein’s propaganda masterpiece, Potemkin and Jean-Luc Godard’s freewheeling romance, Breathless, I Am Cuba (SOY CUBA) turned out to be something quite unique – a wildly schizophrenic celebration of Communist kitsch, mixing Slavic solemnity with Latin sensuality. The plot, or rather plots, feverishly explore the seductive, decadent (and marvelously photogenic) world of Batista’s Cuba – deliriously juxtaposing images of rich Americans and bikini-clad beauties sipping cocktails poolside with scenes of ramshackle slums filled with hungry children and gaunt old people. Using wide-angle lenses that distort and magnify and filters that transform palm trees into giant white feathers, Urusevsky’s acrobatic camera achieves wild gravity-defying angles as it glides effortlessly through long continuous shots. But I Am Cuba (SOY CUBA) is not just a catalog of bravura technique – it also succeeds in exploring the innermost feelings of the characters and their often desperate situations.
Shown unsubtitled at the San Francisco International Film Festival, I Am Cuba (SOY CUBA) received two standing ovations – during the screening. The first movie ever jointly presented by master filmmakers Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola, I Am Cuba (SOY CUBA) is one of the great discoveries in cinema. It will change your view of cinema forever!
