Buena Vista Social Club Review
104 minutes, Germany (1999), U
The greats of pre-revolutionary Cuban music are brought together to record an album. Documentary featuring Ry Cooder and directed by Wim Wenders

He's a sly one, that Wim Wenders. Just when we all thought we knew what to expect from him - serious, dour Euro-centric drama either with or without angels - he rode into town with Buena Vista Social Club, a documentary that celebrated a bunch of musicians who at the time were only known by the world music crowd and their immediate families.
