Very powerful, the actors, photography, scheduling, editing, and the highly literary script are very positive, very similar to French movies, but more free, uninhibited, and emotional. I didn't expect Cuba in the 1960s to be so beautiful and avant-garde. movie...

The loose narrative structure is interspersed with political news documentary images. The protagonist in the film is a bourgeoisie who has nothing to do but only reads and loves. It is an empty concept. He is not only a tool used by the author to witness the political situation in Cuba and convey his political views, but also a symbol of The Cuban bourgeoisie is the main object of criticism in this film. The Cuban bourgeoisie under the author's lens is a lost and socially disconnected group of...

It's amazing, depicting the turbulent history of Cuba in the 1960s under a writer's romantic love story, from the Bay of Pigs incident to the missile crisis, the writer also experienced a "revolution" of heart and morality, abruptly inserted documentaries and lengthy political discussions All suggest the oppression of this underdeveloped country. Cuba in the post-revolutionary period of the new era seems to be still ancient, like a graceful girl and a confused...

A bit of Godard, a medium collage. The theme, however, fits with Bertolucci's later "sons of the bourgeoisie". There are many "spillover" sections about...

The [Underdeveloped Memories] expertly personalizing Antonioni, Godard, and Resnais are truly Marxist films, Alai/Desnoes in the development of one's subjective world and the development of state society. Bridges are built between history. Of all the "underdeveloped" representations, the most important are the incoherence of memory, character, and history. The final [eclipse]-like ending signifies the eternal separation between the individual and history. This division is the insurmountable...

Gutierrez has completed a film that can only exist in the minds of new wave directors such as Godard Oshima Nagisa, but cannot really be completed. "Memories of Low Development" jumps, but is closely related to the grand narrative, voiceover, and confession. Jump cut inserts not only memories, but also the history of the Cuban revolution. Nothing Had Changed, as Sergio described it as he watched this "underdeveloped" urban space, a stranger who couldn't join the revolutionary crowd, didn't...

2016-06-21 Watch at the Cuban Film Lecture; [BAMPFA] 2018.1.18.7pm 4K restoration version. The desire/emotional state of middle-class men in underdeveloped areas and the post-revolutionary national political state between the United States and the Soviet Union have formed a wonderful counterpoint relationship. This kind of dissociation, confusion, rushing desire but unable to fill it, neither wanting to go to the other side (North America) nor becoming a "people". Close to Godard himself, of cou

Latin American movies have hardly disappointed me, and if it is a good choice, it may not be so coincidental every time. And this kind of classic with a bit of stream-of-consciousness personal narrative is unexpectedly most people will not have the opportunity to watch...

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.
