Product Description:
Andy Garcia stars and makes his directorial debut in a passionate and historical tribute to his native Cuba. Havana in 1958 is a place of pleasure for many but others are not happy under the rule of dictator Fulgenico Batista. As the revolutionary forces of Fidel Castro and Ernesto "Che" Guevara prepare to move on the city Fico Fellove (Garcia)-owner of the city's classiest music nightclub El Tropico-struggles to hold together his family and the love of a woman (In s Sastre). Observing all is The Writer (Bill Murray) an ex-patriot American who sees Fico being drawn into events as the revolution changes everything. Though Fico watches a culture vanish and a people transformed it is his love of Cuban music that keeps his memories alive. Co-starring Dustin Hoffman and Steve Bauer.System Requirements:Running Time: 143 MinutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: R UPC: 876964000314 Manufacturer No: 10031

For his first feature film as a director, Andy Garcia has crafted an ambitious and vivid love story set amid the Cuban revolution. El Tropico, an elegant nightclub, overflows with exuberant music and sinuous dance; the owner, Fico (Garcia, Ocean's Eleven, The Untouchables), and his family live a life of privilege in Havana, but Fico and his father hope to steer the brutal reign of Batista towards democratic reforms. Fico's two brothers are not so patient and get caught up in the guerilla forces that seek to overthrow Batista by force; one dies after a failed coup attempt, the other joins Fidel Castro's revolutionary army. Meanwhile, Fico and his widowed sister-in-law Aurora (Ines Sastre) fall in love, their romance unfolding in the still-thriving Havana nightlife, while during the day Castro's new regime turns as repressive as Batista's. Gorgeous cinematography captures the spectacle of the musical numbers in El Tropico, which are never less than stunning, and the depiction of the political chaos is effective and dynamic. Unfortunately, at the heart of the movie is stasis; Fico, though morally indignant, never takes any action, and his courtship with Aurora is beautifully filmed but lacks palpable heat. Clumsy dialogue and odd digressions with mobster Meyer Lansky (Dustin Hoffman, Rain Man) and a seemingly metaphorical character known only as the Writer (Bill Murray, Lost in Translation) make a long movie feel even longer. But the music is undeniable; if your feet don't itch to dance after watching The Lost City, you have no soul. --Bret Fetzer

I have a passion for Cuban culture and this movie really does a great job depicting that. It has a good story, but it can be slow at times.

I never saw this film in the theaters. I did not know this gem existed until I picked it off the shelf in my friendly neighborhood video rental store. What a pleasant surprise! A movie depicting the Havana that was? A movie that neither glorifies Castro's revolution nor idolizes the Che? Instead, through the story and its characters, it tells what REALLY happened in Havana 50 years ago.
Folks, if you want a glimpse of what really happened in Cuba. If you want to know why the middle ... Read More

This is the best picture I have seen that describes the true story to what happened to all of the Cuban families after the take over from Fidel Castro in 1959.
I strongly recommend anyone to view this well done film by Andy Garcia.
This film tells the real true events. How things actually happened, and the true suffering of the Cuban families

***1/2 2005. Directed by Andy Garcia. Havana, Cuba. 1958. The Fellove family belongs to the Cuban high bourgeoisie with at his head Don Federico, a university professor. Don Federico's eldest son, Fico, is the owner of a famous night club while his two brothers are politically engaged. Dictator Batista's regime is soon threatened by Fidel Castro and his comrades. The screenplay of the first film directed by Andy Garcia is obviously and, let's admit it, rather elementarily anti-Castrist. The unique fully ... Read More

I always had the dream that some day the true history of the cuban people tragedy become known to the world throught a real piece of art that show the inmense suffer that Castro's Cuban Revolution inflict on the cuban families. This film is the best try I know in this respect. And when you note that Andy Garcia is the producer, director, plays the main role, writes many of the film music, and that the cost of only the shoes used in Titanic surpased the whole cost of the Andy's film, you begin to realize ...
