Audience Member Interesting! Not just about old cars, more about the people and especially the mechanics who love and work on these cars. See how the embargo has effected the people of Cuba and how inventive they have become in keeping these old cars on the road. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Chris Delbert recommended this to me a while ago, but I only got around to watching it now because I just installed the new speakers for the laptop. That's because the film has some very nice Cuban music, including a rap version of "Chan Chan" from Buena Vista Social Club at the end. This is a fun little film, probably moreso if you're into old cars. I'm not personally, but I enjoyed meeting the old characters who keep these 50+ year old cars on the road. It was also fun hearing a group of them talking about the system of "Cubanismo," in which supposedly illegal private businesses like theirs are actually what keep the whole Cuban system running day to day. 3 stars, or 3.5 if you're either Cuban or into old cars. 4 stars if you're both. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member An look at the Cuba we never get to see or hear about. Truly resourceful people and some amazing craftsmen.
