Che (Part One): The Argentine and Che (Part Two): The Guerilla

Overview

Possibly the only person whose diaries have been read and analysed as often as Anne Frank’s, Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara is no stranger. His face alone is one of the most world’s most recognisable images.

Who he was, exactly, depends on your point of view: revolutionary, fanatic, hero, guerilla, theorist, poet, doctor, god, ruthless killer or the perfect icon for merchandise. Whatever your opinion, Che clearly has a fan in Benicio del Toro â€" who both starred in and produced these films, both full length epics in their own right.

While it would be all too easy to turn the legend into a Hollywood blockbuster, director Steven Soderbergh has taken a more interesting approach. Presenting the narrative in fragments forces us to judge moments individually, and makes us work hard to piece together both the plot and an image of the entire man. Not always easy, but definitely worthwhile.
