Tomás Gutiérrez Alea was probably Cuba's most renowned director for decades. Over the years he turned out movies that looked at Cuban history, and the results of the revolution (sometimes looking critically at this). One of his most famous movies was 1994's "Strawberry and Chocolate", about a gay man having to hide his sexual orientation in 1979 Havana.
One of Gutiérrez Alea's lesser known movies was a segment of "Con el amor no se juega" ("Don't Fool with Love" in English), an adaptation of a Gabriel García Márquez novel. It's such an obscure movie that it doesn't even have a Wikipedia entry. Nonetheless, it's a perceptive look at relationships, whether focusing on a woman who falls for a soldier in a mirror, or on a relationship between a radio host an a listener. Not a great movie, but still clever.
