A Fantastic Achievement
Suite Habana is a perfect harmony of a story told entirely through the use of images and sounds, no dialogue but an Universal language instead. It follows the lives of several people in Havana during one day, impoverished and lacking but full of dignity. This is an exercise in world-class fimmaking, without selling out to commercialism.
As a Cuban American the effect of this film is heartbreaking, both in its complexity and depiction of a dilapidated society and a city in ruins. But I think it will also speak to several countries. Definitely the best film to come out of Cuba in the last 30 years. Not to be missed.
