The screenplay is by the recently deceased Cuban novelist Cabrera Infante who was an early on a supporter of Fidel and then decamped for Paris as the regime became more totalitarian. Dammit all to hell. What crappy news about Cabrera Infante. Guillermo Cabrera Infante is/was one of my favorite writers. He wrote an absolutely brilliant novel, Three Trapped Tigers, which has fortunately been as brilliantly translated as it was brilliantly written. As a dancer, you'd love the depiction of pre-revolutionary Havana night life, though the nonlinearity of the plot might be offputting. Here's the Amazon blip--read the reviews: amazon.com And, great news, this site indicates that the film you have mentioned is based on Three Trapped Tigers. centerforbookculture.org I don't know how the film is going to capture the word play and the stylish writing, kinda like putting Lolita on the big screen, a very tough thing to do. Nonetheless, I am really pleased to see that Cabrera Infante is finally getting the recognition he deserves.
