A formally dazzling landmark of Cuban cinema by Humberto Sol\u00e1s, the operatic epic\u00a0Luc\u00eda\u00a0<\/em>recounts the history of a changing country through the eyes of three eponymous women. In 1895, Luc\u00eda is a tragic noblewoman who inadvertently betrays her country for love. In 1932, she is a member of the bourgeoisie drawn into the workers\u2019 uprising against the dictator. And in the post-Revolutionary 1960s, she is a rural newlywed struggling against patriarchal oppression. Shot in an array of distinct, evocative visual styles, Sol\u00e1s\u2019s sprawling triptych is a vital document of radical progress.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n About the film:<\/strong><\/p>\n Luc\u00eda is a 1968 Cuban black-and-white drama film directed by Humberto Sol\u00e1s, and written by Sol\u00e1s, Julio Garc\u00eda Espinosa and Nelson Rodr\u00edguez.
