Review of Bitter Sugar (1996) by Irene C — 21 Sep 2007
This black-and-white drama set in modern Havana combines romance, politics and heavy doses of salsa music. Pro-Castro Gustavo (René Lavan) wants to study aeronautics in Prague; his brother, Bobby (Larry Villanueva), loves American rock 'n' roll; and his sultry girlfriend, Yolanda (Mayte Vilán), seeks fame as a dancer in Miami.
All three of them must resort to drastic measures to escape the oppressive Cuban system and find happiness.
