Member Movie Reviews Adam M. (redbaronredsoxfan) from BURLINGTON, VT Reviewed on 10/24/2022... Great overview of legends of the road in Cuba. If you wanna see real classic cars, and how they came to be in Cuba this documentary is for you. These are true cars not those electric plastic golf carts you see on roads today. Back when a car was a piece of art.
Movie ReviewsBuena Vista Social Club with Cars! J. Peppler | North Carolina | 06/16/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I loved this movie so much I blogged it. Gorgeous shots of urban Cuba and Cubans and the craft of keeping old cars on the road for nearly half a century. The ingenuity and zest of these old dudes will inspire you. The music is great too. Watch a guy make motorcycles out of bicycles and chain saw motors. Watch a guy in a golden Cadillac he's had for 42 years with babes (maybe they're his grand-daughters) grinning in delight. Watch guys squirm when asked, "would you pick your wife or your car?" "My car! You can find another woman later." "Both have thirty years with me - it is an equally balanced love." More seriously, there's a lot to learn about the way Cubans have adapted to being so isolated and lacking in things we think of as necessities. I hope we would not be too fat and lazy to do the same, if the need arises." Shade Tree Mechanics of the World, Unite! 39ejhsosjdovnhbd-[-=wicncdp[-w9cdjh | dkdjnsd02h2bf9] | 09/17/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "Fortunately politics are left behind to take an endearing look at the army of homegrown chewing gum and baling wire engineers that keeps Cuba rolling. Meet the artisans who use chain link fence for welding rods, and and can refit your cherry Studebaker woody with a Soviet tractor engine. Suspended between old-fashioned Communism and Yankee freedom and capitalism, a unique culture not yet lost to Toyotaland. Recommended for any documentary fan who's ever been or aspired to be a shade tree mechanic." Great movie for Car Lovers Joe Architect | Salinas, CA USA | 03/29/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "I saw this at Cinequest film festival in San Jose, CA a few years back. It's a great film about the ingenious ways the Cubans keep these beautiful cars running and looking good. I recommend it to any car lover who appreciates the classic value of the 50's American cars."
