Before Night Falls

USA 2000 | 125 minutes | English, Spanish | Hebrew subtitles

Julian Schnabel presents a biopic of one of Cuba's greatest writers and poets, Reinaldo Arenas who was born in Cuba in 1943 and died of AIDS in NY in 1990. A sensitive film with both an experimental touch and a deep sense of realism, placing the viewer firmly in context. Noteworthy are the musical contributions of Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson.
