Enjoyable and entertaining movie
An enjoyable movie, entertaining and warm, about the changing relationship between two sisters, with some insightful behind-the-scenes story lines of life in Cuba. The dramatic scenery of old Havanna is beautiful, the music and dancing most enjoyable, and some excellent acting from Carlos Acosta, Charity Wakefield and Eva Birthistle. Christopher Simpson renders a thought provoking portrayal of a very interesting character. I’m sure we will be seeing a lot more of all these actors. Apparently its the first UK movie to be shot in Cuba in 55 years since “Our Man in Havanna”. Don’t miss this British movie, it’s well worth seeing.
Day of the Flowers is a must see.
I saw it at the Edinburgh Film festival and love it. Two quarrelling sisters become reluctant travel partners when they set off from Scotland to Cuba. Their journey throws up more than a few surprises and laughs along the way. Their quest to discover more about their father’s communist past leads to a voyage of self discovery. The humour is balanced with an intelligent portrayal of how each sister struggles, in different ways, with the cultural stereotypes and socio- political tensions that arise. The writer, Eirenie Houston, offers a balanced assessment of the complexities associated with tourism in Cuba, avoiding sentimentality or judgement. Set in the ambiance of Havana, with stunning cinematography and beautiful dance scenes, not least from the Cuban ballet dancer Carlos Acosta, this film will have you heading down to the travel agents.
