AustinJames Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 For some time now, I have been interested in the Cuban Revolution. Before Night Falls is a biopic that offers an interesting perspective through the lens of poet, novelist, and playwright, Reinaldo Arenas. While the majority of Hollywood movies on this topic is socialist propaganda, this one shows some of the horrors perpetrated by the revolutionaries against peaceful citizens, such as Arenas. Beyond that, it is a beautiful piece of work. I can provide a full review (just request in the comments) if there is interest, but I think the film speaks for itself.
wdiaz03 Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 Interesting since I was born in the island but I have not seen this one myself, on the topic I can recommend "The lost city" - 2005, which captures the atmosphere of the time quite well. I'll try to watch this one when I get a chance. Thanks.
