CHE (PART ONE): THE ARGENTINE
A labour of love for Academy Award-winning director, Steven Soderbergh (Traffic, Ocean's Eleven) CHE features a career defining performance from Oscar winner, Benicio Del Toro (Sin City, Traffic) in the title role for which he won the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival 2008.
The first film in Steven Soderbergh's two-part Che Guevara epic tracks the charismatic revolutionary as he joins Fidel Castro's band of Cuban exiles and journeys to the island on a leaky boat in 1956. From these humble beginnings, the small team of rebels mobilise popular support and recruit an army which will ultimately topple the US-friendly regime of dictator Fulgencio Batista, while Che himself undergoes a transformation from a simple doctor to one of the most iconic political figures of the modern age.
CHE (PART TWO): GUERRILLA
Following the success of the Cuban Revolution, Che Guevara is at the peak of his fame and power when he vanishes without a trace. Resurfacing some time later in the jungles of Bolivia, Guevara sets about recruiting a new band of insurgents to help him spread the revolutionary message across the rest of Latin America. But as the Bolivian government and CIA close in on him, this will prove to be his most dangerous campaign yet.
The second part of Academy Award-winning Steven Soderbergh's epic two part war movie charting the life of Che Guevara, sees Benicio Del Toro once again taking the role of the iconic revolutionary.
CHE (PART ONE) & CHE (PART TWO) in cinemas nationally 1 October 2009
