Resumen

Este ensayo reconsidera los Recuerdos del subdesarrollo de Tomás Gutiérrez Alea, no solo a la luz de la carrera de su director y la novela fuente de la cual se adaptó la imagen (Recuerdos inconsolables de Edmundo Desnoes), sino también a la luz de lo histórico, social, político y cultural contexto que produjo esta película cubana.
