Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Andres Salama This interesting Japanese film from 1969 (a Cuban-Japanese co production, shot in black and white), has a minimal plot dealing with a Japanese man called Akira (he is a sailor, though we never see him near a ship, and is played by Masahiko Tsugawa) cruising the country, sightseeing and flirting with girls in a reasonably good Spanish. He finally gets the attention of one Marcia (Obdulia Plasencia), a somewhat cold, politicized, moderately pretty girl. She allows him to follow her around, but doesn't believe he is revolutionary enough for her.The movie includes a lot of documentary style footage of Cuba, including segments of speeches by Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, in a moment, ten years after the Cuban revolution, when the revolutionary process is in full swing and the country is in a very regimented, militarized phase. A lot of the dialogue is a bit too didactic, praising the Cuban revolution and its triumphs. Directed by Kazuo Kuroki.
