Buena Vista Social Club

Description

By Wim Wenders. Restored digital copyWim Wenders films the Cuban musical group behind the legendary Buena Vista Social Club album, gathered around guitarist Ry Cooder. From his return to Cuba to the group's European tour, the film primarily appears as "the chronicle of a renaissance: some of these musicians had not played or sung for years (...). On the stage of the Carré, in Amsterdam, you can feel their youthful excitement. Between concert, studio, and Havana interiors, the film is illuminated in small touches. Its strength is not so much in the staging. It is also not in the stories of the band members. No, this charm is about atmosphere, good vibrations. Here, we love the music, we grasp it fervently, we share it" (François Gorin, Télérama, 2010). Germany, USA · 1999 · 105' · original version with French subtitles - format: DC@CAP 2 – Capitole, Salle Lucienne Schnegg (CAP 2) - indicative price: 10.-
