Andy Garcia was five years old when his family moved from Cuba to Florida, but the memories of his birthplace left an indelible impression on the actor, who makes his directorial debut with this film. Equal parts love song to Cuban culture and critique of the political events that ended Havana’s brief reign as the “Paris of the Caribbean,” The Lost City captures the last days of an elegant nightclub that is deemed “incompatible with revolutionary ideals.” Garcia, who is also an accomplished musician, hand selected nearly forty songs for the film’s amazing soundtrack. 3911 50th St. W., Edina, 651-649-4416; www.landmarktheatres.com
