7 DÍAS EN LA HABANA (7 JOURS À LA HAVANE)
7 DAYS IN HAVANA is an anthology film set in the Cuban capital, with its directors taking turns to tell a short story for each day of the week. On Monday, an American actor arrives in Havana to begin film school and is taken on a bar-hopping tour by a friend; on Tuesday, Serbian director Emir Kusturica (playing himself) wanders around in a drunken haze before accepting an award at a film festival and persuading his driver to allow him to tag along on his jazz band's jam session; on Wednesday a beautiful Cuban singer tries to decide if she should leave her failed baseball player boyfriend for the offer of singing in Madrid for a Spanish club owner; on Thursday, a near-silent Palestinian observes his surroundings; and on Friday, a young woman is forced into a ritual to cure her lesbian tendencies. "The performances are excellent, particularly Josh Hutcherson, Melvis Estevez and Mirta Ibarra, whose segments are the most engaging. Similarly, each of the shorts is beautifully shot, conveying a strong sense of place through the combined use of authentic locations, lively Cuban music and sound design." -- Matthew Turner (View New Zealand)
