Cuba/El Salvador/2016/93 min.
Directed by Jorge Dalton
Spanish w/ English Subtitles
Built around a series of interviews with exiled poet, scriptwriter (“Guantanamera”), and novelist (the Alfaguara Award winner “Caracol Beach”) Eliseo Alberto prior to his death in 2011, “In One Corner of the Soul” presents a unique, cool-headed analysis of the highs and lows of the Cuban Revolution. Supported by revealing, rarely-seen footage provided by Dalton’s and Alberto’s family as well as several private collections, the documentary revisits such key figures as Cuban poet and novelist Jose Lezama Lima and Guillermo Cabrera Infante and such pivotal events as the 1968 Revolutionary Offensive.
Estructurado alrededor de una serie de entrevistas con el exiliado poeta, guionista (“Guantanamera”) y novelista (“Playa Caracol”, ganadora del Premio Alfaguara) cubano Eliseo Alberto antes de su muerte en 2011, “En un rincón del alma” ofrece un análisis personal de los altos y bajos de la Revolución Cubana. Apoyada por imágenes reveladoras y raramente vistas proveniente de los archivos de la familia de Dalton y de Alberto, entre otras fuentes, el documental rememora personajes tan importantes como el poeta y novelista cubano José Lezama Lima y el novelista Guillermo Cabrera Infante, al igual que acontecimientos tan decisivos como la ofensiva revolucionaria de 1968.
