Movie Haiku:Reinaldo Arenas was a Cuban writer born into a poor rural family in the 1940's. He experienced the initial jubulation of Castro's revolution, then suffered brutal repression as the regime became increasingly rigid, dictatorial & homophobic. Schnabel finds perfect images to convey the depth of this artist's heartfelt & hard-won poetry.
