One of the first post-Revolution Cuban films. No doubt it garnered a reputation for that feat alone, people love a good 'first' after all. Add to that the strong political overtones and you have a film built for the ages. I can't say I was terribly impressed, though some above-average cinematography did make it somewhat bearable.

The film isn't exactly subtle in its political and social message, but that was only to be expected. At least it's not a neo-realist drama, some nice black-and-white cinematography helps to offset some of the less interesting moments. It wasn't enough to let me breeze through the film, but it could've been a lot worse.
