One of the Best...

I recently saw what could be the most beautiful movie I have seen, if not to date, in a very long time. It is called "I Am Cuba" and was made by Mikhail Kalatozov. The cinematography is lump-in-the-throat inducing. Seeing as that it was made in 1964, it may have actually been avant-garde to shoot hand-held footage. The shots are constantly moving around the subjects and spaces, and tilting to allow just enough room for everything to dizzyingly fit. Check out the trailer...



or the whole thing... phwew!
