I will rate it with only one word, "Perfect Film"Movie Review: A Charming Funeral Story Thats Witty and Wise
Summary: 4 Stars
A hearse-led road trip across Cuba's lush tropical countryside and cluttered urban areas is the main plot element in "Guantanamera." Yoyita, a famed ex-patriot, returns to her homeland after many years to be celebrated for her triumphs away from home. She dies suddenly, in the arms of a former lover, now old like her, but nonetheless still enamored. On her death, Candido (the old gentleman) joins Yoyita's niece Gina and her communist comrade husband on a trip to bury her aunt in an Havana cemetary. The characters they meet along the way are finely etched - full of pathos and humor, and real as real can possibly be. The road trip becomes an endless series of folly and error, with dual caskets, broken down cars, and a host of characters who somehow dovetail in and out of each other's lives. In the end, Gina find redemption in the arms of another man - a former student who is inexplicably traveling the same stretch of road. And throughout, the song "Guantanamera" (Girl from Guantanamo) is lyrically molded to suit the story, becoming part of the script in ingenious ways. A lovely film, for all audiences - in any language - this is an example of the great Cuban cinema's powerhouse director Tomas Gutierez Alea, and stands as a triumph of spirit, love and passion much like other love stories that have been told in English over the years. Solid acting, and scenes of heartwrenching sadness are etched against the inexplicable beauty that remains on the island, despite its dilapidated state. See it and enjoy!Movie Review: poor but beautiful Cuba!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have to say that I haven't been to Cuba but I will definetely visit one day. By watching this movie you'll know how primitive, how original, how poor and also how beautiful, how friendly, how much the Cuban people cherish their land, their lives. This is one of my favorite movies so far and you should watch it and own it as well.:)
