Review: In βViva,β a Star Is Waiting to Be Born
An exhilarating hybrid of Social Realism and feel-good aspirational entertainment, Paddy Breathnachβs βVivaβ is an oddity by its very pedigree: an Irish movie set in Havana, where it was filmed with a keen eye to that cityβs dinginess in tropical light. It infuses a too-familiar story with so much heart that you surrender to its charm and forgive it for being unabashedly formulaic. Even its one big plot twist is hardly a surprise. At the same time, its portrait of Havana, an impoverished city of crumbling architecture, has a gritty neorealist pungency.
