I skipped it when it was in the local theatre - is it worth a rental? I heard a few people discussing it this afternoon at work and it sounds interesting.......

best as a road movie - tunenut 09:20:58 03/02/05 (0)
2 young guys on the road through South America. There is a small amount of beatification of Che. But it's not overbearing, just a couple of points where his near saintliness is apparent. All in all, it's a very nicely done road movie, and this is a classic genre that never gets old.
An excellent film, with 2 superb performances. - tinear 08:05:38 03/02/05 (0)
Still, it had a "Chariot of Gods" moment which I thought was a bit over the top (after you see it I'll be specific).
Still, the film works on many levels, no matter your political persuasion (considering the subject matter, it's not a diatribe in any sense).
The cinematographer, wisely, doesn't allow the magnificent scenery to overwhelm the human story.
This director is responsible for "Central Station" which I felt is a better picture, but less important.
of all the 2004 films I`ve seen it was by far the best and a much better film than MDB, Aviator, Sideways etc. nt - jaiva 16:01:49 03/01/05 (1)

  Really? I'll give it a shot and let you know. FWIW Maria Full of Grace was my fav "sleeper" of 2004.
