Cast: Sergio Corrieri, Daisy Granados, Eslina Núñez, Omar Valdés, René de la Cruz.Summary: In Spanish with English subtitles. Cuban Cinema. Romantic Melodrama. Novel Into Film. Directed by Tomas Guiterrez Alea. A film based on a novel by Edmundo Desnoes. The story takes place in a peculiarly difficult period of Cuban history - between the Bay of Pigs in April 1961 and the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962. Sergio is a Cuban with a mixed view of the coming of Castro. He has intellectual pretensions but is primarily a sensual man who tries to intellectualize his romantic and emotional past. He is a man caught between accepting and denying the revolution while trying to make it fit into his carnal life. Shot in a stunning black and white, Memories is a work of a great filmmaker. It was, justifiably, one of the most critically acclaimed films of the postrevolutionary period of Cuba. With: Sergio Corrieri, Daisy Granados, Eslinda Nunez, Beatriz Ponchora, Omar Valdes and Rene de la Cruz. Notes: Screenplay by Alea and Edmundo Desnoes from Desnoes' novel. Cinematography by Ramon Suarez. Music by Leo Brouwer.Summary: A study of Cuban society before and after the revolution as seen through the eyes of a man who is a landlord and self-styled writer.
