Suite Habana

It might take two viewings to grasp fully what Fernando PĂ©rez is doing in "Suite Habana," an elusive but intermittently beautiful tone poem on film. There is virtually no dialogue. There are no story lines that build to a climax, no documentary-style voice-overs. There are just snippets from a day in Havana, so disjointed and seemingly random that it takes a while to realize that Mr. PĂ©rez is focusing on 10 specific individuals, tracking them through 24 hours in their painfully ordinary lives.
