Before night falls (2000)
a film by Julian Schnabel
When I came out of the Diving Bell and the Butterfly I wanted to know everything about Julian Schnabel. I discovered his first film Basquiat, I discovered his paintings and I discovered that he only wears pyjamas. I found Before the night fall and I was staring at the screen for two hours, I was dazzled again by the narrative that strikes with images and sounds that linger after the credits stop crossing the screen.
How impressive it was to find Cuba in this movie, how beautiful was it seeing again the bright green trees that contrast with the peeled white walls and the blue sea. How terrifying was it feeling the enclosure, the fear and the punishment to the free spirit. How amazing was making the trip through this story accompanied by amazing images, evolving as the characters and evocative as the words of Reinaldo Arenas.
I was shocked by tabooed images, I was surprised when I saw Johnny Depp, I was impressed by the portrait of Cuba that is made, but over all of that, I have the satisfaction that comes from witnessing such a tough and touching story when is told in such a great way.
