HOLLYWOODREPORTER: Unfinished Spaces: Film Review

An apt and unstressed metaphor for the history of the Cuban revolution itself, Unfinished Spacesis a stirring study of the euphoric creation and complex, unfortunate aftermath of an ambitious cultural project initiated in Havana in 1961. In a sympathetic but unblinking manner that imposes no overt agenda on the story other than to tell it as fully and personally as possible, this documentary by Alysa Nahmias and Benjamin Murray is also welcome in that it brings to light a striking architectural project that continues to evolve fifty years after its conception. The topical intersection of aesthetics, politics, history and Hispanic culture should afford plenty of venues across the media spectrum for this absorbing film.
