Chronicles of the Absurd (Crónicas del absurdo)

Directed by Miguel Coyula
Cuba
2024
77 mins

Chronicles of the Absurd, directed by Miguel Coyula, is a Molotov cocktail on the chaotic face of the decaying Cuban dictatorship.

Artist couple Lynn Cruz and Miguel Coyula deploy a string of secret audio recordings to expose the intimidation that independent artists in Cuba have to suffer. Where the victims confront the threats with strength and reveal the tricks of police secrecy through clandestine recordings of sinister conversations aimed at curbing freedom of expression.

It is the aesthetic erudition, the prophecy of Antonia Eiriz, the anathematized artists, the irreverent soundtrack that asserts itself and takes by storm one of the last totalitarian strongholds in the world.
