Havana Quartet

About This Movie

Havana Quartet is a quirky comedy that has its own kind of charm. Walter, an aspiring musician from Madrid, finds himself in a whirlwind after discovering a videotape revealing the existence of his Cuban mother. The film captures the essence of Havana beautifully, painting a vivid backdrop of the city’s vibrant culture. There’s a nice blend of humor and warmth as Walter navigates the chaos of his life and family. The pacing is laid-back, allowing for those quiet moments that highlight the characters’ emotional journeys. It’s interesting how it explores themes of identity and belonging, all while balancing the light-heartedness you’d expect from a comedy. Not a perfect film by any means, but it holds a unique space in my collection.
