Re: unfinished spaces

The movie was as good as the trailer! In the post-performance there were a lot of questions relative to the reality of Cuba, the revolution and the political-cultural boundaries encountered by the film makers. But i think the movie was interesting in that it brought to light the issue of time in architecture, highlighted by a set of buildings that have lived as though a thousand years - experiencing the extreme conditions of a literally secluded island - yet whose architects are still alive. It was a great experience, tears and all. I do wonder though whether it was a movie about the space or one about its architects...oh the narcissism...
