**there was also great immodesty in the dress/dancing, again classic Cuban, but i just wanted to warn those who aren't used to that or wouldn't be expecting that.**

oh Nessie, great review. words cannot describe properly what this movie has done. How it has affected every Cuban born in Cuba or in America, and how it has properly displayed everything for everyone to see! it was simply amazing......

i have no words to discribe how deeply it impacted me.

i didn't read your critique for fear it would be a spoiler for the movie... is it?

i didn't even know there was such a movie! Is it in theatres? I want to see it. I have lately been missing cuba a whole lot. :-(
I'm gonna try to watch the dvds next week :-)

Viva CUBA!!!

no, i don't think its a spoiler at all.

And actually the movie had a limited release, so its not playing in G-ville, you'd have to come to Miami ;o)

but it comes out on DVD in August i think.

Hollywood hasn't had a good reaction to it, because it shows the truth.
