Simply a jewel of cinematography
Esteban Hernandez
No words, just images, just the sounds of the city and a beautiful soundtrack ... A deep look into the day by day of several inhabitants of Cuba's most universal city: La Habana. A builder, a retarded boy, a dancer, a railway employee, an old woman who sells peanuts in the street, a woman who works in a factory of perfumes... Fernando Pérez has made an outstanding job, showing us La Habana as it is, just placing his camera in different places, at different hours, in front of different people.
Henry Fields
Suite Havana is the most beautiful film I have ever seen.(…) I was in tears at the end--tears of feeling a certain privilege to enter the minds and souls of the people in the film. The photography of the sea with the music sent chills down my spine. The visual and the auditory blended and produced almost a hypnotic trance. It was glorious. By the end of the film, one feels almost transformed by the beauty of the film and the human connections it weaves.
