Description
Academy Award winning director Steven Soderbergh and celebrated actor Benicio Del Toro have joined forces to create one of the most uncompromising film projects of all time, detailing the life of one of the Twentieth Century’s most controversial figures: Ernesto “Che” Guevara.
Spread over two explosive movies, Che: Part One and Part Two have gained notoriety for their unflinching, graphic and incredibly realistic depiction of guerrilla warfare in all its horror and glory. Part One follows Guevara’s adventurous journey from his beginnings as a young, politically active physician to becoming one of the most feared and respected militant revolutionaries in South America. Meticulously re-enacting Che’s relentless quest to destroy the Batista regime and bring freedom to Cuba, Part one marches towards an unforgettable, heart-pounding, cinematic climax. Part Two of the Guevara saga takes us to the height of the Cold War, a time of espionage and subterfuge, and into the dark, violent extremes and merciless terrain of the Bolivian jungle- a journey from which Che Guevara would never return.
(This DVD also still has its Che Companion booklet, which includes extracts from reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War and The Bolivian Diary)
