Che

August 28th 2009 02:50

Che is a two-part 2008 biopic about Marxist revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring Benicio del Toro. Rather than a chronological recitation, the films offer an elliptical series of interspersed moments along the overall timeline. Part One is entitled The Argentine and focuses on the Cuban revolution from the landing of Fidel Castro, Guevara and other revolutionaries on the Caribbean island to their successful toppling of the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista two years later. Part Two, entitled Guerrilla, focuses on Guevara's futile attempt to bring revolution to Bolivia and his ill-fated demise. Both parts are shot in a cinéma vérité style, but each has different approaches to narrative linearity, camerawork, and aspect ratios; this duality is intended to be reflective of the two military campaigns' divergent outcomes.

Guerrilla filmmaking on an epic scale, Steven Soderbergh’s painstakingly authentic Che takes a remarkably dispassionate look at the iconic revolutionary hero. Shot in rugged locations in Mexico, Spain and Puerto Rico, the film provides breathtaking evidence of the widescreen brilliance and expressive power of the new Red digital camera. Panoramic historical spectacle is no longer the exclusive domain of the military industrial complex! Che is in fact two films which will be showing, at the filmmaker’s request, as a single presentation in many cinemas. Part One, The Argentine, depicts the 1956–58 Cuban campaign and ends in glory with Che and Fidel en route to Havana. Part Two, Guerrilla, follows Che’s disastrous attempt to repeat the Cuban strategy in Bolivia.

Inglourious Basterds - War, Tarantino Style!

April 27th 2009 02:21

One upon a time, in Nazi occupied France....

Despite it being a war film, director Quentin Tarantino has said that Inglourious Basterds will be a "spaghetti-western but with World War II iconography. It has a large cast including Brad Pitt and narrator Samuel L. Jackson. The title (and partial premise) of the movie was inspired by Italian director Enzo Castellari's 1978 movie Inglorious Bastards.

In typical Tarantino fashion two story lines converge: One follows a group of Jewish-American soldiers whose mission is to take down a group of Nazis, and the other follows a young Jewish woman who seeks to avenge the death of her parents by this Nazi group."

Inglourious Basterds will be released in the US on August 21st, 2009. The Australian release date is August 20th. See the trailer below:
