I think Soy Cuba still holds up. Gotta approach it with a bit more attention span than common, contemporaneous cinema tho.

It has dialectics with film language, an increasingly radical set of characters, high-tech (for the time) IR film shots and some incredible long shots that still baffle the mind.

Kalatosov’s Letter Never Sent has a few of those badass tracking shots, too, and turns them to 11 during a Siberian forest fire. Stunning stuff.

Kalatozov has just too much style, it’s almost unfair how well his work holds up. I’m going to check that out, sounds like a very interesting film. Thanks for the rec!
