Trouble in paradise: Hemingway in Cuba in the late 50s
“Papa: Hemingway in Cuba” (2016 release; 109 min.) brings the story of a young journalist’s friendship with and mentorship by Ernest Hemingway in Cuba in the late 50s. As the movie opens, we are in “Seattle 1935”, where the then 4 year old boy is abandoned by his father in the middle of a department store. We then flash forward to “Miami Globe 1957”, where we get to know the journalist Ed Myers. He finally sends a letter to Hemingway to express how much Hemingway’s writings inspired Myers in his darkest hours. Much to Myers’ surprise, some time later Hemingway calls and invites him to visit him in Cuba, and so off to Cuba goes Myers. At this point we’re not even 15 minutes into the movie, but to tell you more would spoil your viewing experience, you’ll just have to see for yourself how it all plays out.

Couple of comments: first, all of the marketing materials regarding this movie list this as “Papa: Hemingway in Cuba”, but in the movie itself, it’s simply announced as “Papa: A True Story” (“Papa” is of course Hemingway’s nickname). Second, this movie is written by Denne Bart Petitclerc, the actual journalist to whom this happened (I figure he changed the name to Ed Myers as, let’s face it, his real name is more than a mouthful). Third, this is directed (in his directing debut) by long-time producer Bob Yari. Yari brings the story aptly but without any real surprises or revelations, it’s as if he is directing “by the numbers”. As you may surmise, given that the story is set in the late 50s, the movie is a mix of observing Hemingway the person, and also seeing how the revolution is playing out in the background. The cast is just okay, with the previously unknown (to me anyway) Adrian Sparks in the Hemingway role. Keep your eyes open for a quick cameo by Mariel Hemingway, the real life granddaughter and erstwhile ‘buzz’ actress herself. Minka Kelly plays a nice secondary role (as Myers’ girlfriend). But you know who is the real star of this movie? That would be the location where much of this was filmed, namely the sprawling Hemingway estate (called Finca Vigía) in Cuba, where Hemingway lived for many years, and which nowadays is the Hemingway national museum in Cuba. Looks to be an amazing place, at least when seeing it on the big screen. Last but not least, there is a nice orchestral score, composed by Mark Isham. Bottom line: this movie has its pros and cons, and its good moments and not-o-good moments. Still, I found myself enjoying this more or less, hence a mixed rating of 3 stars.

“Papa” opened recently at my local art-house theater here in Cincinnati. The Sunday early evening screening where I saw this at this past weekend was attended okay (better than I expected, frankly), and fairly heavy on the seniors side. If you like a historical drama involving some big personalities, “Papa” is worth checking out, be it in the theater, on VOD, or eventually on DVD/Blu-ray.

Papa: Hemingway in Cuba is the real-life connection between then budding journalist Denne Bart Petitclerc and Ernest Hemingway that makes this movie click.
Papa: Hemingway in Cuba was released in the U.S. in 2015, written by Denne Bart Petitclerc. It’s the dumb-luck story about Miami Globe reporter, Ed Myers, who is the real-life Petitclerc, too shy to mail a fan letter he addresses to the American icon. When his love- interest steals and mails the letter, Myers receives a phone call from Hemingway that snowballs into a deep, trusting, faith-filled, and fruitful friendship.

The dates, photos, and video clips of Hemingway solidify his legacy. The opening credits chronicle moments in Cuba and foreshadow his death. If you know that Hemingway quickly left Cuba after 20 years of life in Finca Vigia near Havanna, like me you await that that moment when he abruptly leaves Cuba. I was disappointed his departure was overlooked in this movie, but it made room for sequences of Hemingway providing guns to Cuban fighters – which was unknown to me. The violent attack on the presidential palace as Castro gains power blazes Myers’ career as a war correspondent. The action Hemingway and Myers experience ducking bullets and hiding near vehicles strewn in a Havana street, rivets Myer’s dream of what it takes to become a good reporter of his time.

Touching scenes and dialogue include Myers’ humble story of how he landed a job, was fired for an inability to spell, but hired back after typing all of Hemingway’s books. This moment takes place on the beach with Hemingway and his wife as waves break in the background, mirroring Myers’ break into journalism. The actors (Giovanni Ribisi as Myers, Adrian Sparks as Ernest Hemingway, and Joely Richardson as Mary Hemingway) are heartfelt, but sometimes lack conviction. None-the- less, your heart strings tug like undertow with Ribisi’s convincing humility as Myers, and Sparks’ persuasive affection as Hemingway. Myers later convinces Hemingway he loves and needs him, which undoes a near- tragic event. Director Bob Yari effectively steers the action as the dialogue booms.

Comical scenes include the Hemingway’s swimming in the nude, Myers’ first encounter with Mrs. Hemingway. The butt-shots are modest and fun, and Myers’ first-blush is diminished by movie’s end when he swims with the sharks, so to speak.

Conflicts include the Hemingway couple forgetting how to show love toward each other, as they deal with aging, writer’s block, Hemingway’s father’s suicide, and Mary’s loss of herself as she lives in his shadow. The birthday party sequence shows Mary’s extremes to convince the audience that the weight of blame is hers for the couple’s unhappiness.

Supporting cast includes close and longtime friend, Evan Shipman (Shaun Toub), who’s real life bout with gangrene inspire The Hills of Kilimanjaro. Myers’ girlfriend, Debbie Hunt (Minka Kelly), is gorgeous in her role. She tempts Myers to stay away from Hemingway. He almost does. Myers affection for her conflicts with his need for Hemingway, as Myers navigates explosive love scenes with Deb and a grandiose friendship with Hemingway.

J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI, duel plane crashes, revolution headlines, and guns dumped into the ocean sequence fast. I watched a second time to piece the implications.

The inclusion of the Finca Vigia, beautiful landscaping, and a swimming pool larger than their living room show the bountiful creativity of the Hemingways. The bar scenes and daiquiris add crunch and the palm trees calm. His yellow car moves about in the beautiful Havana countryside that lacks the sting of industrial growth and housing developments, with plant-life touched only by human hands and small tools. The architecture is lovely. And the ocean scenes reflect the depth and vastness of Hemingway’s soul as a writer with the Havana skyline, smoky and depressing.

SPOILER ALERT: Papa does not include Hemingway’s life and death in Idaho.

I give it 8 stars: 2 for the acting, 2 for dialogue, 2 for the beautiful scenery and Hemingway’s real-life former home, and 2 for showing the many facets of Ernest Hemingway (some which I never knew) as told by budding journalist, Denne Bart Petitclerc.

I watched on Netflix.
