Claude Santiago directs a wonderful portrait of a living legend of the genuine Cuban sound.Ninety years old and an incredible freshness: Compay Segundo keeps singing the rhum and the women, 'the best of life'. Claude Santiago went to Cuba to direct the first portrait dedicated to this legendary giant of music. Crossing Cuban space and time, from Santiago to Havana, from the twenties to the dawn of the 21st century, Compay talks about himself. The documentary follows his unique course, showing his meetings with the greatest musicians of the island, revealing the intimate portrait of a man and of a country, as mythical as unknown. On stage, Compay casts a glance over the women in the front row, makes some sensual movements, sometimes even indecent ones, shortly, he plays the lustful old man. However, he represents the values of a past time and his music expresses an enormous nostalgia, especially with Chan Chan, his master. Written by Curta Vila do Condo IFF See less
