Being Fidel Castro is an intriguing documentary that takes a unique approach by using an impersonator to bring the life of Fidel Castro to the forefront. It's less about a straightforward biography and more like an exploration of the man's complexities—the highs and lows, the triumphs and the struggles. The tone veers between tenderness and biting humor, reflecting the contradictions inherent in Castro himself. I found the pacing to be quite engaging, allowing time for reflection on his political career while never feeling too drawn out. The practical effects are minimal, focusing instead on the performance, which is both compelling and authentic. It's a distinctive take that gives a fresh perspective on a figure often shrouded in controversy.
