"Bitter Sugar"
1996
Directed by Leon Ichaso
This visceral,
energizing look at contemporary Cuba is an impassioned love story set
against the political and economic tensions of Havana. Gustavo, an ideal
young Communist with a glorified vision of Castro's regime, falls in love
with Yolanda, a disenchanted dancer who longs to escape to Miami. Despite
their radically opposed beliefs, the young couple are inseparable. The
city begins to erupt around Gustavo when his rebellious musician brother
injects himself with the AIDS virus in suicidal protest, and his father
realizes that he will earn more money as a hotel bar pianist than as a
doctor. Spanish with English subtitles. 102 minutes.
