Cool and conscious, the predicament of the protagonist is an appropriate mataphor. Touches on the troubled and constricted situation of the intellectual involved in the work of decolonising, whose instruction has trained them to see the system with the consequence of being implicated in its broad effects. The result is to be cut off from 'the people', and a diminished capacity for true comraderie. How can this person speak of justice, if they were to be served injustice?

Fascinating, dreamy drift through “Bay of Pigs” era Cuba is most interesting for its documentary-like scenes of everyday life which give the film a genuine spark of spontaneity and perfectly balance the more dry, Humbert-like musings of Corrieri’s lead (who startlingly resembles Laurence Olivier!). More effective as a historical record of sights and sounds than a coherent narrative (or consideration of a political position), however quite accessible (and satisfying) on that basis.

Technically interesting and an interesting character study of an unlikable protagonist, though narratively lacking for me. It didn't always hold my interest--some of the political discussion, etc, probably would have played better for me if I had lived there then. It is sometimes very dense, and as a personal flaw I sometimes have some difficulty with reading and fully comprehending subtitles when a film gets complicated and wordy, so sometimes films like this aren't as impactful for me.

it's a poignant exploration of how one finds themselves stuck inside a simple yet labyrinthine world, without anywhere to go. because even if you do go, is there any place where you won't have similar problems, concerns, or dilemmas? it's like that cavafy poem, you always bring yourself with you any city you go to, and what else is there but your own messy perspective to understand the outside world? *fragmented* editing and visual regime help to convey this hopefulness quite well.

A privileged white guy stays behind while family and friends flee Cuba after the Bay of Pigs; he's apparently hoping to prove something by doing so. Instead, he continues to stalk underaged girls, which doesn't seem to fit into his ongoing complaint about how Cuba is "underdeveloped." Visually, it's interesting; the plot is a little too choppy for my taste. It's much more of a "mood" film than a propaganda one.
