Lucia

In his awardwinning film Lucía Humberto Solás interpreted the theme of Cubas hundred years struggle in an entirely novel way to create an epic in three separate episodes each centred around a woman called Lucía and each unfolding in a different period of Cuban history corresponding to the three stages of colonialism 1895 neocolonialism 1930 and socialist revolution 1968 The three episodes also present us with Lucías of different social classes Solás described his film in this way The womans role always lays bare the contradictions of a period and makes them explicit Lucía is not a film about women its a film about society
