25 seconds of rain in the alley behind the federal building. 

Reasonlessness

I walked out of the movie having lost my reason
No longer with a sense of the reasonable I leave
each movie early
Sometimes I wait until the father at last arrives
at the birth
Often this occurs only at the very end



Emily Toder, from Reasonlessness

Cumbite

“Because of a long and absurd list of reasons, even now at this point I have not been able to finish Cumbite, which is the name of the film about Haitians. Cumbite for me is a serious failure. I have the sensation of having dropped a huge ink splotch onto a half-finished sketch.”

Tomas Gutierrez Alea to Juan Goytisolo, March 18, 1964. (quoted in Cineaste)
