Habana Blues. Otra pelicula sobre Cuba. Y del tema eterna - como salir de la isla. Lo que tiene esta peli es muy buena música con roqueros cubanos y otros grupos tocando en vivo. La historia es bastante obvio y no te engancha mucho pero se puede ver la pelicula justo por las canciones y las imágenes de la ciudad.

This is the poster for a new Argentine film, 'Iluminados por el fuego'. It is quite a harrowing story about two former soldiers from the Malvinas who are battling with the memory of that time. One has attempted suicide and is lying in a hospital bed fighting for his life. Esteban, whose approach is to write about what happened -he is a journalist, visits him and the ugly memories come flooding back. It is based on a true story and the battle scenes are specially vivid. I can't really place a critical judgment on this film because of the loaded subject matter. In the cinema I went to the public was gripped and saddened by this tragic episode in Argentine history and by the fact that the returned servicemen have never been well treated - nearly 300 have committed suicide. I'm glad I saw it and it is at least a decent representation of that period. Gaston Pauls gives a suitably sober performance in the lead role.
