Mostly, Humberto Solas's "Amada" - meaning "beloved" - is a story of a woman in an unhappy marriage, having an affair with an outsider; similar to Frank Perry's "Diary of a Mad Housewife". Probably the most significant aspect is the historical context: not only is the movie set during WWI amid a popular movement to oust the US-backed regime, but there's also the end scene. I assume that one of the movie's purposes is remind people of life prior to the Revolution (yes, they like to capitalize it). Although most of the movie focuses on an affluent family, the final scene looks like an affirmation that one day, the Cuban people would throw off the shackles of US domination.
Anyway, I wouldn't call "Amada" the ultimate masterpiece, but I would still recommend it. I wonder how many more Cuban movies there are that our government won't let us watch due to a Cold War mentality.
