Humberto Fontova, a former JLF Headliner luncheon speaker, reviews Andy Garcia’s film about Cuba, “The Lost City.”
Andy Garcia blew it big-time with his movie The Lost City. He blew it with the mainstream critics that is. Almost unanimously, they?re ripping a movie 16 years in the making. In this engaging drama of a middle-class Cuban family crumbling during free Havana?s last days, in which he both directs and stars, Garcia insisted on depicting some historical truth about Cuba?a grotesque and unforgivable blunder in his industry. He?s now paying the price.
