COMANDANTE (2003) - ♦♦♦

Directed by - Oliver Stone

Written by - Oliver Stone

"Castro suggested that Stone would shoot a documentary on him with interviews and scenes of his everyday life. This is the result. The film is a good account of Castro and his position as leader of Cuba, but the meeting between the two feels like a missed opportunity more than anything else. Perhaps it would have been more rewarding had this film been shot in a direct cinema style rather than as an interview based film. However, it is a good primary source and a good documentary within the limitations."

Documentary, USA/Spain
