Thie first story is set in an uber-cool tiki bar...

the bar is trader vic's in havana.

the film was made as propaganda by the soviets to bolster support for the cuban revolution.

tv's, apparently, is used to symbolize western/american/capitalist decadence.

the commie morals are sort of simplistic & lame...but the film is pure eye-candy to be sure!

some of the shots in BOOGIE NIGHTS are an homage to I AM CUBA, in particular, the scene w/ the bikini clad girl diving into the pool.
