‘A Successful Man’
Cuba, 1986, 110 minutes, 8 p.m . Humberto Solas exacts a sweeping political epic in his latest film. Spanning the three decades preceding Castro, it focuses on two brothers from the upper class who become separated by conflicting ideologies. Both enjoy the privilege of their station regardless of who seizes power in this rich, melodramatic morality play. It’s wonderfully ironic and politically savvy.
RECOMMENDED.
