I Am Cuba – 4K 04/30/24

Milestone and Criterion team together for this 1964 epic, a a joint Cuban-Soviet super-travelogue celebration of the revolutionary spirit. Four vignettes from the pre-Castro years spell out the glory of anti-imperialism, using fancy visuals and gravity-defying camerawork. The cultural experiment was judged a failure and shelved for decades, until it was rediscovered in the 1990s and given a major film festival revival. The impressive B&W cinematography gets the full 4K ULTRA HD treatment. On 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray from The Criterion Collection.
