Cuba, as Time Goes By

About This Movie

So, 'Cuba, as Time Goes By' is this deeply personal documentary that really digs into the fabric of Cuban life post-exile. It’s shot in a sort of raw, almost guerilla style, which gives it this intimate yet gritty feel. The filmmaker returns to Havana after three decades, and you can just sense the nostalgia mixed with tension as he captures the everyday struggles and resilience of the people. There's this haunting atmosphere that permeates the film, especially as it coincides with the transfer of power from Fidel to Raul. The pacing is contemplative, allowing moments to breathe, which is pretty engaging. It’s not polished, but that’s what makes it stand out—it's more about the honest portrayal of a society in flux than any grand narrative. Really brings a unique perspective on homecoming.
