10/10 to 17 Cuban Writer Leonardo Padura tours the Boston Area
Padura’s wide popularity is rooted in the series of noir detective
novels he’s written, the first four of which have been made into films.
The “Four Seasons in Havana” quartet is available on Netflix; it is
being made into an English language series for cable starring Antonio
Banderas. Padura’s writing in general is deeply involved with Cuban
history and politics.
The festival will be screening two Padura films in Spanish with English
subtitles after which there will be Q&A with the author: “Vientos de La
Habana/Winds of Havana,” an expanded version of the first in the Netflix
series that is an introduction to the world of Mario Conde featuring the
whole crew from the old neighborhood and his high school days as well as
police colleagues and Havana itself. In “Regreso a Itaca/Return to
Ithaca,” Leonardo wrote the screenplay about a generation gathering for
a rooftop dinner in Havana and to make sense of the past and present.
The festival showing will be the first time the film has been screened
with English subtitles in this country.
* Tu, Oct 10: 6:30-8:30, Reading/book signing at Brookline Coolidge
