But even split in half, it’s something of a mixed bag. “Che – Share 1: Argentine” is a visually magnificent and low-key fraction of work that focuses on the pivotal slices of Guevara’s life, with an extraordinary lead performance by Benicio Del Toro as the titular revolutionary. Unfortunately, it’s also a very slow-moving affair that brushes past some of the more unsavory facets of Che Guevara’s life and personality… and ironically many of the distinct ones.
In the 1960s, Guevara (Benicio Del Toro) is in Current York City for a UN conference, being interviewed by a US reporter about his viewpoints as a guerilla leader and revolutionary. Then the epic jumps abet a decade to when he and others (including Fidel Castro) reflect the many injustices over in Cuba and initiate planning for a revolution. Despite being Argentinian by birth, Che follows them to Cuba and joins the guerilla revolution.

But despite his commence as a medic, Che began showing talents in other areas, and becomes a leader of the guerilla outlaws in the Cuban countryside. He grapples with his hold ill health (asthma), the loss of his compatriots and the attacks from the military, which also threaten some of the non-revolutionaries — and as time goes on, their revolution gained power and see, and began the ultimate battle for control of Cuba.
Rather than the usual biographical movie format, Steven Soderbergh approaches “Che – Fraction 1: Argentine” as if he were filming a documentary. There are no scenes of petite Che being kicked by a rich guy or melodramatic subplots — it’s quite literally a nick of the pivotal point of Che Guevara’s life, and a 1960s shakycaminterview adds to that feeling. As an added price of authenticity, almost all of the dialogue is in Spanish rather than poorly-accented English, giving a you-are-there feel.
Much of the account is devoted to the guerillas staggering through lush, richly green countryside, and living in very rough surroundings; while the storyline is rather lifeless, it speeds up gradually as Guevara grows in influence and the revolution really heats up. Pinging gunshots, explosions, tanks, tense chases through deserted streets and burning trains all play a fraction in the harrowing finale, all the more so because you know that all this mayhem actually took dwelling.
Del Toro is, to attach it mildly, fabulous as Guevara — not only is he a lifeless ringer physically (with the just facial hair and clothes), but he exudes a peaceful charisma, literate intelligence and power that design you survey exactly why someone might follow him if they agreed with his politics. No one else in the sage really gets to stand out, but Del Toro simply IS the cast all by himself.
Yet ironically it’s a piously bland, virtuous portrait of Guevera. Soderbergh wimps out on the cruel, extremist sides of his personality and the regime he helped create; on the other hand, he also brushes over the man’s fierce intellect, his writing, and world interests. It feels like we’re looking at one mirrored facet of a very complex man, and surely more of who he was — the worthy, the terrible AND the frightful — could have been included.
It’s distinct Soderbergh set a lot of heart into producing the raw, realistic “Che – Piece 1: Argentine,” but his glorification and simplication of a controversial figure drags the first half of his labor of cherish.
Steven Soderbergh created one of those movies that is lucky to have been made at all — a four-hour-plus biopic of Cuban revolutionary Che Guevara.
But like most biographical movies, it’s something of a mixed bag. Visually atmosphere and low-key in style, the two halves of “Che” focus on pivotal slices of Guevara’s life, with an improbable lead performance by Benicio Del Toro as the titular revolutionary. Unfortunately, it’s also a very slow-moving affair that brushes past some of the more unsavory facets of Che Guevara’s life and personality… and ironically many of the certain ones.
Part 1: In the 1960s, Guevara (Benicio Del Toro) is in Modern York City for a UN conference, being interviewed by a US reporter about his viewpoints as a guerilla leader and revolutionary. Then the account jumps aid a decade to when he and others (including Fidel Castro) think the many injustices over in Cuba and initiate planning for a revolution. Despite being Argentinian by birth, Che follows them to Cuba and joins the guerilla revolution.
But despite his launch as a medic, Che began showing talents in other areas, and becomes a leader of the guerilla outlaws in the Cuban countryside. He grapples with his have ill health (asthma), the loss of his compatriots and the attacks from the military, which also threaten some of the non-revolutionaries — and as time goes on, their revolution gained power and gawk, and began the ultimate battle for control of Cuba.
Part 2: Later in life, Guevera comes to Bolivia disguised as a bespectacled bald businessman, with the intent of fighting another revolution in that country. But this revolution doesn’t go as well as the Cuban one (for Che) : shortages in food, internal betrayal, and one of their contacts (Franka Potente) goofs up royally. As Guevera’s health deteriorates, the Bolivian army and the CIA buy measures to quash his guerilla forces…
Rather than the usual biographical movie format, Steven Soderbergh approaches “Che” as if he were filming a documentary. There are no scenes of dinky Che being kicked by a rich guy or melodramatic subplots — it’s quite literally a chop of the pivotal point of Che Guevara’s life, and a 1960s shakycam interview adds to that feeling. As an added price of authenticity, almost all of the dialogue is in Spanish rather than poorly-accented English, giving a you-are-there feel.
The storyline is rather listless, speeding up gradually as the revolution really heats up… only to listless help down in the second half with Guevera’s decline. Most of the epic is devoted to the guerillas staggering through the countryside, living in rough shacks and campsites. Even the landscapes consider the ascent and descent of Guevera’s power — the first half is crammed with lush, vibrant jungle life, and the second is a washed-out, grey expanse of scrubby brush. Unfortunately, this means that over four hours, the fable often drags like a ripped parachute.
But despite the slowness, each movie climaxes with some revolutionary action. Pinging gunshots, explosions, tanks, tense chases through deserted streets and burning trains all play a share in the harrowing finales of each half, which are all the worst because you know that all this mayhem actually took station.
Del Toro is, to effect it mildly, improbable as Guevara — not only is he a slow ringer physically (with the fair facial hair and clothes), but he exudes a still charisma, literate intelligence and power that produce you scrutinize exactly why someone might follow him if they agreed with his politics. No one else in the anecdote really gets to stand out, but Del Toro simply IS the cast all by himself.
Yet ironically it’s a piously bland, virtuous portrait of Guevera. Soderbergh wimps out on the cruel, extremist sides of his personality and the regime he helped create; on the other hand, he also brushes over the man’s fierce intellect, his writing, and world interests. It feels like we’re looking at one mirrored facet of a very complex man, and surely more of who he was — the top-notch, the unpleasant AND the homely — could have been included.
It’s distinct Soderbergh attach a lot of heart into producing the raw, realistic “Che,” but his glorification and simplication of a controversial figure drags down his labor of adore.
