8 Jan 2009After watching this clip of Benicio Del Toro, I am understanding his sex appeal a little more. Colbert and Del Toro discuss Che, beard stroking, iconography and the making of a Communist hero.

I haven’t seen Steven Soderbergh’s epic, four hour, two part biopic on Ernesto Che Guevara : “El Argentino” and “Guerrilla”. I’ll see it eventually (if anyone wants to watch two kids for day so I can see it, that would rock). Pero, even without seeing it, there’s enough internet reading on it and it seems like even a dead revolutionary can’t escape Latino stereotyping.

1 Aug 2008Steven Soderbergh’s two part, four and a half hour bio-epic on Che Guevara has a new trailer in Spanish that you can see here.
Benicio del Toro has already won some praise for his work on the film but will such a long , two part movie about a Latino revolutionary get a distributor here in the U.S?

26 May 2008Seems that all that learning about Che Guevara did Benicio Del Toro good, because he won the best actor award at Cannes for his role as Che Guevara in the Steven Soderbergh’s film on the revolutionary.
“I’d like to dedicate this to the man himself – Che Guevara,” said Del Toro, after accepting his second big award under the US director’s helmsmanship.
“I wouldn’t be here without Che Guevera.
“Through all the awards the movie gets, you’ll have to pay your respects to the man.”
