Blame it on Fidel

The fiercely logical Anna lives a comfortable life in early 1970s Spain with her French journalist mother and Spanish lawyer father, until her life is turned upside down when her parents become political activists and she finds herself shifted to a cramped apartment where strange, bearded revolutionaries turn up during the night. A charming and thoughtful film, the first drama from documentary director Julie Gavras. "Perfectly capturing the era's flawed idealism, this is a little gem." Empire Dir Julie Gavras, France 2006, 99 mins An ICA Films release. Opens in the UK Friday 19 October. www.ica.org.uk/blameitonfidel
