Cuba Libre

Cuba Libre

A neatly crafted homage addressed to one of Serra’s idols and main sources of inspiration, prolific German director Reiner Werner Fassbinder. The 18-minute short film is set in a decadent, yet seductive nightclub (a trademark symbol in Fassbinder’s filmography), featuring characters and depicting motifs that seem to stem directly out the Fassbinder universe. The film’s title is not by chance either, as it pays a delicate tribute to Hanna Schygulla’s favorite drink in the movie Beware of a Holy Whore (1971).
