Once upon a time, Cuban cinema in America began with I Am Cuba and ended with Buena Vista Social Club. Though stunning, neither film was made by a native Cubano. Cuban Masterworks presents five indigenous works that deserve wider exposure. Based on the 1928 book by Ilya Ilf and Evgeny Petrov, Toms Gutirrez Alea's The Twelve Chairs (1962) plays like a cross between an Ealing comedy (dark, yet loopy) and early Godard (he incorporates animation, inter-titles, and a jaunty score). In the prologue, a wealthy aristocrat dies before she can reveal which of twelve parlor chairs conceals her jewels. Together, her son-in-law, Hiplito (Enrique Santiesteban), representing the old Cuba, and his nephew, Oscar (Reinaldo Miravalles), representing the new, set out to recover the nationalized loot. Mel Brooks remade the satire in 1970, while Alea went on to direct the Oscar-nominated Strawberry and Chocolate (1994). Also in black and white, Julio Garca Espinosa's rousing multi-genre piece The Adventures of Juan Quin Quin (1967) makes use of physical comedy, thought balloons, and other forms of "tomfoolery." Adapted from Samuel Feijo's 1964 novel, the narrative revolves around the restless Juan (Jlio Martnez), bullfighter, circus performer, and revolutionary. The trusty Jachero (Erdwin Fernndez) is Sancho Panza to his Don Quixote, Teresa (Adelaida Raymat) is his leading lady, and Der Feind (Enrique Santiesteban) is his shape-shifting nemesis.
The collection is completed by three from Humberto Sols. Cecilia (1981), inspired by Cirilo Villaverde's 1882 classic Cecilia Valds, looks at race relations in the 1830s. Starring Daisy Granados (A Successful Man) as a woman of mixed race, the operatic tragedy was nominated for the Palme d'Or. Set in 1914, Amada (1982) takes Miguel de Carrin's La Esfinge as source material. Amada (Eslinda Nuz, Cecilia), a woman of privilege, longs for more than a loveless marriage. A Successful Man (1986) traces the paths of brothers Javier (Amada's Csar vora), a playboy, and Daro (Jorge Trinchet), a communist, in the pre-revolutionary era. As impressive as these melodramas may be, the absence of Lucia (1968), the directors masterpiece, is unfortunate. Of the extras, the highlight is The First Time (1967), which documents a rural community's introduction to the movies. Aside from The Twelve Chairs, the other four selections are exclusive to this long overdue introduction to Cuban cinema. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
