Sinopsis
(All Movie Guide)
Wim Wenders' documentary
Buena Vista
Social Club is about the adventures of
Ry Cooder in
Cuba. Cooder, best remembered by film fans for the wailing slide guitar theme
of Wenders'
Paris, Texas, went to Cuba in 1996 to meet with some legendary 'soneros'
musicians of the '30s, '40s and '50s. The result was the album
Buena Vista
Social Club, recorded with such colorful characters as the 90-year-old
singer/guitarist
Compay
Segundo, guitarist
Eliades Ochoa,
baritone
Ibrahim Ferrer and
Omara Portuondo,
"the Cuban
Edith Piaf." The album won a Grammy, and in this refreshing documentary,
Wim Wenders
shows these exceptional musicians in their hometown, following them into their
usual hang-outs — the cafes, clubs and even living rooms — as well as to
concerts in Amsterdam and New York's Carnegie Hall, capturing their incredible
vitality. "In Cuba, music flows like a river," according to Ry Cooder, who
adds "Music is like a treasure hunt; you dig and dig and sometimes find
something." Pursuing this metaphor, Wenders wanted to make a film that would
"just float on this river ... not interfering with it, just drifting along."
The result is a film full of vitality and positive energy, which is also an
absolute delight to musical ears.
