Before Night Falls Appreciation #1


Made by White Noise

Plot:

Episodic look at the life of Cuban poet and novelist, Reinaldo Arenas (1943-1990), from his childhood in Oriente province to his death in New York City.

He joins Castro's rebels. By 1964, he is in Havana. He meets the wealthy Pepe, an early lover; a love-hate relationship lasts for years. Openly gay behavior is a way to spite the. government.

His writing and homosexuality get him into trouble: he spends two years in prison, writing letters for other inmates and smuggling out a novel. He befriends Lázaro Gomes Garriles, with whom he lives stateless and in poverty in Manhattan after leaving Cuba in the Mariel boat-lift.

When asked why he writes, he replies cheerfully, "Revenge."

Cast:

Diego Luna as Carlos

Lia Chapman as Lolin

Sean Penn as Cuco Sanchez

Javier Bardem as Reinaldo Arenas

Olivier Martinez as Lazaro Gomez Carilles

Johnny Depp as Bon Bon / Lieutenant Victor

Well it wasn't in the directory and I couldn't find it so no I don't think so. Unless I didn't see it.

This is one of Johnny's movies that I have not seen, and I cannot find it anywhere.

What is the plot for this movie?
