Movie Reviews of Guantanamera

Movie Review: 'Fresa y Chocolate' better, but watch them both
Summary: 4 Stars

First, there's the thrill of seeing Mirtha Ibarra and Jorge Perugorr?a in repeating appearanences, portraying vastly different characters. Of special note is Perugorr?a's demonstrated range and acting ability. I spent the first half-hour of Guantanamera thinking "That just can't be the same guy."

It was. Amazing stuff.

Also, the film itself presents a take on Cuban life that, while patently absurd to any American, no doubt rings all too true with anyone who has experienced life under Fidel's heavy thumb. Taken together, these two films represent 3 hours of what movies are all about: for me, they were enjoyable and educational; for the filmmakers, they scored a direct hit on the target of their disdain and sarcasm.
