Cuban actress Yuliet Cruz announced her participation in the cast of a new film titled “Goodbye, Cuba,” which will be directed by island filmmaker Rolando Díaz.
In a publication on her social networks, the artist wrote a message where she assured that she has “the immense joy of being under his masterful direction, also of sharing the set with valuable actors and staff in this production. Thank you, dear Rolando, I am very honored to be part of ‘Adios, Cuba.'”
Cruz accompanied the post with a video in which he talks about this production and his participation in it. “I can finally share with you news that has made me very happy all these days and that is that yesterday the filmmaker Rolando Díaz announced that in his next film, which is called ‘Goodbye, Cuba’, I will be playing the character of Caridad. “, broad.
Then, she emphasized that she is “very happy, very grateful to Rolando, to the entire team. There is a very beautiful cast of actors, very talented, just like the staff. So it’s another gift that life gives me. What can I tell you? Grateful, blessed and happy to be part of this project.”
For his part, the island’s filmmaker, who has been living in Spain for decades, reported that he will soon begin recording this film “about Cubans who have left and perhaps some who have returned.”
About this, his eleventh feature film, Díaz recalled: “I’ve been in movies for a long time, since back in the 80s I made ‘The Birds Tingling the Shotgun’, and ‘En Tres y Dos’.”
Now, as the artist rightly said, “I’m heading, I’m getting on the ship, of ‘Goodbye, Cuba’”, a film that will continue to add successes to his career, which includes more than twenty documentaries and countless of reports made as part of the ICAIC News, “the kind that were comedies that criticized the state of bread or the potholes in the street,” as the director himself defined them.
Then, Díaz promised that “in ‘Goodbye, Cuba’ all Cubans who have thought about or have wanted to leave the country will be represented, regardless of their personal situation, because this film will be made without censorship and in complete freedom.”
In the case of the filmmaker, despite his “extensive work in Cuba,” as he well recalled, he has had a broader cinematographic activity. “I’ve ridden more outside” the island, he said.
For Yuliet Cruz, this would be her second time in the seventh art after her departure from Cuba in 2021, where she is remembered in films such as “Conducta” or “Ana’s Movie.”
