5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating, Refreshing Cuban Cinema, May 7, 2004
This review is from: Things I Left In Havana (DVD)
By far the most interesting movie about the cuban immigrant experience out there on the North American DVD market, this movie is refreshing in its artistic clarity. I first saw this film in the 1997 Miami Film Festival and then bought it in europe only to learn about DVD region encoding and the imposibility of viewing it on a region 1 DVD player. By the way the zone 2 DVD is far superior (ie subtitles arent burned into the screen)To the region 1 DVD. That being said, it is a masterful tour de force of the immigrant experience and not to be overlooked.

2.0 out of 5 stars Leave this movie in Havana too!!, August 29, 2005
By Rizzo (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Things I Left In Havana (DVD)
I don't think there is anything good I can say about this movie that about three sisters who move from Havana to live with a distant aunt in Spain who runs a fur shop. First, the story is about one sister who wants to act on the stage and I can't say why the other two are in the movie at all.

The lead character, Igor, Jorge Perugorria, creates false passports and has a quest in life to date women from Spain. He becomes romantically involved with Nena, the actress who does get to perform in theatre. And, he is romancing the friend of their aunt.

If this movie depicts some perspective on immigrants hopes and dreams, then I sure didn't see much of that. If the aunt had ideas of exploiting them, I can't see putting them to work in her shop exploiting. When she attempts to marry one off, that storyline remains weak. In other word, characters, other than the main two, don't have any development. Oftentimes you might just wonder "why are you here and how do you contribute to the film?"

The movie was neither poignant, nor humorous, nor moving! To add to that, the Spanish filmmakers tend to use derogatory language toward women. There are sexual situations not suitable for children, or me for that matter. The DVD has nothing more than the movie but trailers and scenes.

So, "Things I Left in Havana" is the movie that SHOULD have been left in Havana. ....MzRizz

1.0 out of 5 stars Worthless piece of propaganda, November 25, 2007
By Juan R. Pollo (Miami, FL, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I watched it all the way through because I kept waiting for it to get better. Nothing but the government's official spin and stereotypes. I threw it in the trash.
