When the album Buena Vista Social Club was released it quickly became a world-wide phenomenon selling millions of copies internationally and winning a Grammy. When Ry Cooder traveled to Cuba again in early 1998 to record a solo album with Ibrahim Ferrer - again with all the musicians of the Buena Vista Social Club - Wim Wenders accompanied him with a small film crew, observing the musicians in the studio and tracing their lives in Havana. The film continued in the Spring in Amsterdam where Buena Vista Social Club gave two concerts and ended, finally, in the summer in New York with a triumphal concert at Carnegie Hall. The result is an inspiring and uplifting story of a group of incomparable musicians recreating a bygone era with their fascinating reminiscences and awesome music.

20 out of 100 Good if you have an interest in Cuba

Interesting documentary if you are a fan of Buena Vista Social Club or have an interest in Cuba. If not, then you'd probably find it boring.

Karl from Donegal, 12 May 2008
Great music from a forgotten time. Nostalgia rampant and not for a very young generation brought up on modern girls/boys bands. great!

Very entertaining, great music, and a nice look at Havana (could do with more than a lick of paint.)
