HUMBERTO SOLÁS
DIRECTING
Humberto Solás (14 December 1941 – 18 September 2008) was a Cuban film director, credited with directing the classic film Lucía (1968), which explored the lives of Cuban women during different periods in Cuban history.
His cinematic style borrows from Luchino Visconti's spectacular mise en scene and is permeated by sometimes heavy melodrama.
He started making shorts at a very young age, before directing his first medium length film Manuela, in 1966.
