Cornerhouse: Staff Review/ Juan de los muertos


"Juan, the 40-year-old self styled survivor, is star of Cuba’s first zombie comedy. His laid-back existence of scrounging, stealing and womanising is threatened when his fellow citizens start to come back from the dead. The government’s explanation is that they are US funded trying to cause civil unrest but Juan knows better; here is an opportunity to make a little money. So like a Cuban version of Del Boy he gathers a little band of locals and starts offering his services to those affected by the dissidents. But when things go bad to worse will he be able to stay in his beloved Havana or be forced to escape to Miami?"
