    The emergence of multiple mediums has further blurred the use of documentary material and fictional stories (radio, tv, recordings, newspapers) recalling the wife of embody European standards, living in the moment and fooling around with a newly met 17-year-old girl. She looks no different from the heroine in European art films, provocative, energetic, and mentally abnormal, but in the second half of the traditional family concept appears, contemporary socialist narrative appears, the concept...

    In fact, if you just watch this movie, you will not feel that it is a Cuban movie at all, or even feel that this is Cuba. The ending of the film returns to the...

    Not to mention the theme expression (it's actually very interesting - the country's development has been repeatedly hindered, resulting in a lack of coherence in people's lives and thinking), this film is real dazzling in terms of skills, freeze-frame, jump-cut, first-person shots, and interludes are used real Chic, monologue lines are also every sentence pearl. Cuban Godard (+ Antonioni+Renais?) has...

    @Metroplex HKIFF, the male protagonist's face is called a Mei. It doesn't look like I can't stand the new wave either. I just can't stand certain...

    A man who seems to be at ease is actually a person who has been abandoned. The great changes around him made him sigh, but he was not the protagonist of them. All that was left for him was desire, a desire that couldn't wait and...

    The Mist of Interstitials: Existential Dissatisfaction in "Memories of Low Development"

    Press: "Failure" is a long and chaotic collapse, and we can hardly even expect it to bring about a black and white binary situation with a little kindness. In most cases, individuals in the "failure" can only make spontaneous choices within a very limited range under the surging waves, which breeds...

    Others have beaten chicken blood, but I am very bad!

    As a first-class film director at the time, Aleia made such a beautiful work without any publicity value, and it was passed, which is really a big mystery.

    It turned out that in the intellectual world in 1968, everyone was in a situation of suspicion. They liked this kind of entertainment work that...

Memories of Underdevelopment quotes

  • Sergio Carmona Mendoyo: One thing about people that upsets me is their inability to sustain something without collapsing. Take Elena: she was totally inconsistent. Didn't relate things. That's a symptom of underdevelopment: the inability to relate things, to gain experience, develop. It's difficult here because women are conditioned by sentiments and culture. A soft environment. People waste talents on inconsistent adaptations. They always need someone to think for them.
