Summary

"With the recent shift in Cuba-US relations stemming from the relaxing of travel restrictions and an influx of American visitors, interest in Cuba and its culture has increased substantially. A new emphasis has been placed on the island country's many cultural and artistic achievements, specifically in film. Cuban cinema is recognized around the world as having produced some of the most celebrated works originating from Latin America--such as Fresa y Chocolate and La Muerte de un Bur̤crata--as well as many prominent artists--including directors Tom̀s Gutǐrrez Alea and Humberto Sol̀s. In A Cuban Cinema Companion, editors Salvador Jimenez Murgu̕a, Sean O'Reilly, and Amanda McMenamin have assembled a collection of essays about more than100 films across six decades, including feature films, documentaries, and animation. These entries also provide information on directors, actresses, and actors of Cuban cinema. Entries range from films like Retrato de Teresa to Buena Vista Social Club and include descriptions of each film's plot, themes, and critical commentary, as well as comprehensive production details and brief suggestions for further reading. Beginning with the victory of the Cuban revolution--from the first ten years of what is often referred to as Cuba's "Golden Age" of film to the present--this volume offers readers valuable insights into Cuban history, politics, and culture." --
