Memories Of Underdevelopment A Film by Tomas Gutierrez Alea

Hailed as the most sophisticated film to ever come out of Cuba, Memorias del Subdesarollo (Memories of Underdevelopment) is visionary Cuban director Tomas Gutierrez Alea's Tour de Force!

One of Derek Malcolm's top 100 films of all time, 'Memories Of Underdevelopment' follows a man called Sergio through his life in the aftermath of the departure of his family and friends in the wake of the botched US invasion of Cuba at the Bay of Pigs. Alone in a brave new world, Sergio observes the constant threat of foreign invasion before meeting a young woman who he attempts to mould into the image of his departed wife, but at what cost to himself?

Even though director Tomas Gutierrez Alea was a firm supporter of the revolution, his film offers a raw and uncompromising analysis of the newly formed communist government through a moving blend of narrative fiction, still photography and rare documentary footage which catalogues the intricacies of the early days of the Castro regime!

Highly recommended!
