CHICO & RITA
2010
A love story in the form of a bolero.
The first product of the collaboration and friendship of Fernando Trueba and Javier Mariscal, a tribute to the cinema of the 40s and 50s, to the rhythm of jazz and in the form of bolero, which in cinema means melodrama; and that allowed Mariscal to recreate Havana and New York of those golden decades of music, where American and Cuban musicians mixed and created a vital, magical, mixed music... The two friends were joined by a third, the giant of Cuban music Bebo Valdés, in what would be his last work.
