Memories of Overdevelopment

Taglines
Exiled from the world
Overview

An intellectual leaves the Cuban revolution and 'underdevelopment' behind only to find himself at odds with the ambiguities of his new life in the 'developed' world. A portrait of alienation, of an outsider with no clear-cut politics or ideology. A stranger in a strange land struggling with old age, sexual desire and ultimately the impossibility for the individual to belong in any society. The film's narrative is a collage of flashbacks, daydreams, and hallucinations comprising live-action, animation, and newsreel footage assembled to suggest the way personal memory works, subjectively and emotionally.

Title

Memorias del desarrollo

Taglines

Overview

Un intelectual cubano abandona la revolución y el subdesarrollo solo para encontrar que no encaja en su nueva vida en el desarrollo. Un estudio de un personaje solitario, sin política e ideología definidas, enfrentando el envejecimiento, el deseo y la imposibilidad del individuo de pertenecer a ninguna sociedad. La narrativa del filme es un collage de recuerdos, ensoñaciones, compuestos de ficción, animación y elementos documentales manipulados y ensamblados de una manera que sugiere la manera en que opera la memoria personal subjetiva. La película está basada en la novela homónima de Edmundo Desnoes.
