»Fidel Castro!!!


To borrow from another playbook: I mean Fidel Fucking Castro!!!

I get really worked up about Cuba, partly from my romanticized notion of how the socialist ideal has played out. I saw Mikhail Kalatozov's Soy Cuba and fell in love with the stories, the colours, the tracking shots; I read Graham Greene's Our Man in Havana and thought about the intrigue of the island. The photograph and implied capitalist-style product placement come from The New York Times.
