Miguel Coyula

Miguel Coyula Aquino (born March 31, 1977, in Havana) is a Cuban filmmaker and writer. Working with a multi-disciplinary approach, his films usually take several years to complete. He has been described by critics as a virtuoso and an innovator. The multi-layered narratives of his films often deal with alienation, they contain graphic depictions of sexuality, and frontal criticism of society and politicians. The controversial nature of his work have resulted in the banning of his work in Cuba, although they have also suffered censorship in Argentina, Belarus, Morocco, and Beirut. The press usually refers to him as the enfant terrible of Cuban Cinema.
