TOMÁS GUTIÉRREZ ALEA

Generally regarded as Cuba’s foremost filmmaker, Tomás Gutiérrez Alea (1928-1996) first rose to prominence with Memories of Underdevelopment (1968) and later found a wider international audience with Strawberry and Chocolate- the first and only Cuban film nominated for an Oscar in 1994. Influenced by Italian neorealism and an early love of cinema, Gutiérrez Alea’s work created a sharp post-revolutionary Cuba analysis.

Generalmente aclamado como el cineasta cubano más prominente, Tomás Gutiérrez Alea (1928-1996) afirmó su reputación con Memorias del subdesarrollo (1968), y luego alcanzó fama internacional con Fresa y chocolate al ser la primera y única película cubana nominada al Oscar en 1994. Influenciado por el neorrealismo italiano y un temprano amor al cine, las obras de Gutiérrez Alea crearon un agudo análisis posrevolucionario de Cuba.
