A few months ago there was a spirited discussion in one of the political threads about the joys of living in Cuba. Today I saw a movie, based on fact, that presents a bit different view of Cuban life, particularlyl for artists and homosexuals in particular, than that portrayed by some mudcatters who had vacationed there. L.H., in particular was enamored of the place, as I recall.

The movie: "Before Night Falls." It is a new release on DVD, and I'm sure it's probably available on VHS.

I thought it a very good, but depressing movie. I'd be interested in others seeing it (perhaps many have) and would welcome reading their opinions.
