The 1997 Spanish film Azucar
Amarga (Bitter Sugar) will be shown
on Monday, October 5, at 7:00p.m.
Directed by Leon Ichaso this film is
an emotionally charged portrayal of
present day life in Cuba. Azucar
Amarga sets a fiery tale of romantic
and political passion amid the ashes
of the Cuban Revolution. Gustavo,
the hero, starts as a model commu
nist whose beliefs are first challenged
when he falls in love and begins a tor
rid affair with Yolanda, a dancer who
wants more out of life than political
slogans. The solution Gustavo even
tually chooses is a desperate one, but
conforms to the way Cubans are de
picted-as a people trapped between
unreasonable alternatives. Azucar
Amarga is part of the International
Film Series, which continues every
Monday through October 26, 1998.
The series, which is shown in the
Reed Union Building Lecture Hall, is
free and open to the public.
