Part of the Cuban Cinema Spotlight
We are pleased to present two of Fernando Pérez’s films as part of the Cuban Cinema Spotlight: Havana Suite and The Wall of Words. In The Wall of Words, Luis, since childhood, has suffered from dystonia and cannot communicate through body language or words. Between the medical institution and family, his inner life is an impenetrable wall. By crafting a fictional story of a family that falls apart when one of the siblings becomes disabled, Pérez provides a parable of the difficult topics of human communication, pain and the limits of sacrifice. ~AH
