7 jours à la Havane

I'm going to come over a little bias because I was invited to the premiere in Havana - which was subject to the vagaries of technology in Cuba and it meant that I didn't see the final chapter.

I wasn't fussed about seeing the film before it happened, I'd rather have spent the time drinking rum around the corner from the cinema.

The reality was that by the time we'd all seen the film we were all drawn in, hooked, and entirely captured by the simple brilliance of the performance.

Life in Cuba is like nowhere else in the world. The clashing combination of political and ideological cultures is unique. The sacrifice, the clash of ancient and modern perspective, the desire of modern accompaniments. It's all explored. And only the hardest of folks would drive things that way.
