The immediate reaction was laughter or confusion. \u2018Is it a comedy?\u2019 \u2018No, it\u2019s not a comedy, it\u2019s a happy drama.\u2019 And the confused would say to me: \u2018But that isn\u2019t one of your films.\u2019\u201d Co-producer Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Morales advised that a second title be found, more \u201cinternational,\u201d and that\u2019s how <em>\u00daltimos d\u00edas\u2026<\/em>came up, which when screened in Havana will keep the wink of the initial title.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00daltimos d\u00edas en La Habana <\/em>or <em>Chupa pirul\u00ed<\/em> hopes to represent the drama of the major part of the Cuban population in its survival, \u201cwhere there are many problems, many dark days, but in which, despite this, Cubans manage with a positive charge that balances and prevents the crisis from being greater.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_80230\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-80230\" style=\"width: 755px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/ultimos-dias-habana-fernando-perez-jorge-martinez.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-80230\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/ultimos-dias-habana-fernando-perez-jorge-martinez.jpg\" alt=\"Fernando P\u00e9rez and Jorge Mart\u00ednez \/ Photo: Jaime Prendes\" width=\"755\" height=\"503\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-80230\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fernando P\u00e9rez and Jorge Mart\u00ednez \/ Photo: Jaime Prendes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>That duality in us, the Cubans, is not only seen as a virtue, it has also been criticized as a defect.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I thought about that when making the film, but I didn\u2019t work that aspect. Its fundamental charge is not criticism. I didn\u2019t want to criticize the characters or the reality; I wanted to show them as they are in their complexity, in their ambivalence. Somehow, the intention is to make <em>Suite Habana<\/em> 10 years later and in the fiction style, with characters that are in the same environment, but living it another way.<\/p>\n<p>It is a fiction movie, with well-known actors like Jorge Mart\u00ednez and Patricio Wood, trying to maintain an impression of reality, because it is an absolutely realistic film. Its language does not privilege too much the symbols, the metaphors\u2026. Although there are times where it also opens up so spectators can participate in individual, subjective associations. It is a very unassuming film. The subject of the film is prejudices and the relativity of the moral values at all levels.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_80227\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-80227\" style=\"width: 755px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/fernando-perez-ismario-rodriguez-2-portada-1-755x490.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-80227\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/fernando-perez-ismario-rodriguez-2-portada-1-755x490.jpg\" alt=\"Fernando P\u00e9rez \/ Photo: Ismario Rodr\u00edguez P\u00e9rez\" width=\"755\" height=\"490\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-80227\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fernando P\u00e9rez \/ Photo: Ismario Rodr\u00edguez P\u00e9rez<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Is it inspired on certain persons, or it is a mixture of several?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What attracted me about the project presented to me by Abel Rodr\u00edguez, a young amateur writer that got to my home with the core of that script, was precisely that they were real characters, in an environment that has to be well-known from within to be able to write about them. And that\u2019s what we have tried to maintain in the shooting. <em>\u00daltimos d\u00edas<\/em>\u2026had to make the characters credible through good actors capable of making good characterizations. Diego, the protagonist, is in the final stage of AIDS; Miguel is a very introverted character.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The fact of not appealing to difficult or too symbolic metaphors, aspects that have been very persistent in your work, means a mutation of Fernando P\u00e9rez?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In my first two films, <em>Clandestinos<\/em> and <em>Hello Hemingway<\/em>, I felt I had to prove myself that I was capable of telling a story and making the characters credible. Handling a symbolic language, expressing the subjectivity of the characters, their psychological depth, were for me the most important when I started making movies.<\/p>\n<p>Today I believe it\u2019s equally difficult to make a fiction film. With <em>Madagascar<\/em> I wanted a realistic language; I wanted to delve in depth into the imprints that the Special Period was beginning to leave on my generation and on that of my children. That\u2019s why I started working the metaphor and from there I continued with <em>La vida es silbar<\/em> and <em>Suite Habana<\/em> which, even while being a documentary, resorts to an associative language and has sequences with many metaphors.<\/p>\n<p>Then there was <em>Madrigal<\/em>, where there are associations, metaphors and barehanded symbols\u2026. It is my accursed film. I like it but almost no one likes it. <em>Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00ed\u2026<\/em> is again a fiction film and the same occurs with <em>La pared de las palabras<\/em>, where life stories are told, but there are situations and sequences that invite the spectators to make readings that do not directly emerge from the story told.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_80229\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-80229\" style=\"width: 755px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/ultimos-dias-habana-fernando-perez-6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-80229\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/ultimos-dias-habana-fernando-perez-6.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Jaime Prendes\" width=\"755\" height=\"503\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-80229\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Jaime Prendes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>With <em>\u00daltimos d\u00edas en La Habana <\/em>a bit of that occurs. It is a minimalist movie, one of the challenges for me was even the long sequences and I want to see how the spectators react to this. There are no recherch\u00e9 mise-en-scenes or that are too built up. It aspires to a very impeccable communication with the spectators, and that they forget they are watching a film.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the sequences were filmed with a hidden camera in the street. That is something I am doing since <em>La pared de las palabras<\/em>, I do not include extras. And, actually, people let themselves be filmed here in Cuba. That is priceless.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which Havana appears in the film, taking into account, moreover, that it is a city in fashion?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Havana I walk the most, which is Centro Habana, Cerro, Pogolotti\u2026. The Havana that is defined as the deep Havana, which is the most representative but the less represented in our media and in the media abroad. And when it is represented, because Rihanna is coming, it is stylized; because the ugly and the dirty can have beauty and can become a mise-en-scene.<\/p>\n<p>We toured, looking for locations, a great many tenement houses and in each one the same inhabitants, the same experiences are repeated. In the tenement house where we filmed, the neighbors\u2019 collaboration was special. That\u2019s where I most like to film. It is a space where I feel there is a barometer to take the temperature of our reality, more than in the official or other media. But you have to live it.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_80226\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-80226\" style=\"width: 755px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/fernando-perez-ismario-rodriguez.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-80226\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/fernando-perez-ismario-rodriguez.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Ismario Rodr\u00edguez P\u00e9rez\" width=\"755\" height=\"503\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-80226\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Ismario Rodr\u00edguez P\u00e9rez<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Are you seeking some immediate reaction with this film?

I\u2019m not one of those who believe that a film changes reality, but I do think it helps to create an awareness, to get a feeling about that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There are Cuban films that, in key moments of recent history, have been like a kick in the teeth. <em>Strawberry and Chocolate<\/em> was one of them, just like <em>Suite Habana<\/em> and <em>Conducta<\/em>. Could this film have the same effect?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That depends on the spectators. I thought <em>Suite Habana<\/em> was going to reach a public that was less wide and, all of a sudden, the film went way beyond those expectations that I had. It was a lesson. I believe that to a great extent the circumstances also determined. It was <em>Suite Habana<\/em>, but also the moment. It could have been a play, a song or any other thing. But it was the film that appeared at that time and it was synchronized with what the people felt. For me, each film is a risk. I see it and I recognize myself in what I did. But I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen with it.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_80231\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-80231\" style=\"width: 755px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/ultimos-dias-habana-fernando-perez-patricio-wood-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-80231\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/ultimos-dias-habana-fernando-perez-patricio-wood-4.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Jaime Prendes\" width=\"755\" height=\"503\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-80231\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Jaime Prendes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Fernando P\u00e9rez has a leading position, not just artistic but also as a human being; he is like the island is for many shipwrecked people, where you can arrive and save yourself.
