Miguel Coyula, 2010, 2010, Experimental, Cuba, USA, 113min, Spanish with English subtitles
Sergio Garcet, an aging Cuban novelist, lives in New York, alone and alienated. Once active in the Cuban Revolution, he is now a minor college professor repulsed by the rampant capitalism he once defected to and frustrated by his publisher’s lack of interest in his new novel. Unable to relate to others, he devotes his time to snipping photos from magazines and creating collages that depict his mordant vision of the world.
A character study of a loner with no clear cut politics or ideology. A stranger in a strange land struggling with old age, sexual desire, and the impossibility of the individual to belong in any society. Based on the new novel by Edmundo Desnoes, also author of the classic Memories of Underdevelopment.
