Ok. What is the liberal fascination with Castro? Oliver Stone Shoots Castro Documentary in Cuba Wed Feb 20,11:38 AM ET HAVANA (Reuters) - U.S. film-maker Oliver Stone is in Havana making a documentary on Cuba and its president, Fidel Castro, with whom he dined at the weekend to start planning the project, arts and diplomatic sources said on Wednesday. Photos Reuters Photo Stone has been staying since last week at the famed Hotel Nacional on Havana's seafront Malecon -- a favorite haunt of Hollywood stars past and present -- but was keeping a low profile and avoiding media coverage, the sources said. Granma, the daily of Cuba's ruling Communist Party, briefly commented, however, that Stone, who has specialized in controversial political movies, was in Cuba "set on an idea which obsesses him -- making a documentary about our country." The newspaper said Stone was a favorite of Cuban cinema- lovers "since 'Platoon', a film which criticizes the lamentable U.S. military adventure in Vietnam." Stone was said to be working closely with Alfredo Guevara, a friend of Castro since their university days and a former head of Cuba's state cinema institute. American cinema publication Variety said the documentary, tentatively titled "Looking for Fidel," would include extensive interviews with the 75-year-old communist leader and is being produced by Spanish film companies. Stone got a close-up view of one of Castro's trademark lengthy speeches on Friday night when he attended a feisty, four-hour address to an international economists' assembly full of swipes against the U.S. government. story.news.yahoo.com
