Bevor es Nacht wird (2000)
„Bevor es Nacht wird“ beruht auf dem Leben des kubanischen Romanschriftstellers Reinaldo Arenas, der 1943 in der Provinz Oriente geboren wurde und 1990 im Exil in New York City den Freitod wählte. Der Film kontrastiert die frühen Jahre seiner Kindheit in absoluter Armut und Freiheit mit den Greueln und Schwierigkeiten, mit denen er als zensierter und verfolgter Autor und Homosexueller in Castros Kuba konfrontiert war.
Der Regisseur: Julian Schnabel
