Must See List

Must See:

First Time in Cuba, 1967
I remember seeing the trailer in MBC before the Herzog documentary. It's about this village in Cuba and the first time the community there saw a motion picture. They watched Modern Times from Chaplin. All of them were talking to the camera -or perhaps the person who is operating the camera- so naturally about how they hadn't seen a film before and in the mean time they were being filmed. What amazed me was the fact that I was watching Chaplin with them, watching them watching Charlie, and then watching them watching themselves while they were watching Charlie.... Camera thrills me. :S
