Cubalibre (2014)

Serra pays tribute to his cinematic hero, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, by creating a vibrant tapestry set in a lively nightclub. The venue thrums with an eclectic mix of characters reminiscent of those from Fassbinder's oeuvre. The film's title, inspired by the favorite cocktail of characters in "Beware of the Holy Whore," reflects the bar's atmosphere and adds a layer of intertextuality. Through this homage, Serra captures the essence of Fassbinder's world while infusing it with his own unique vision, celebrating the enduring impact of the legendary filmmaker.
