Director Mikhail Kalatozov’s delirious masterpiece unfolds in four stunning vignettes that paint a portrait of pre-revolutionary Cuba—its culture and the people who call the island home. Shot soon after the Cuban Missile Crisis, this wildly offbeat celebration of Communist iconography mixes Slavic solemnity with Latin sensuality. Newly restored, “I Am Cuba” has never looked or sounded better.
