Che: Part Two
STEVEN SODERBERGH'S epic account of the life of Ernesto "Che" Guevara concludes in Che: Part Two.
This is a very different picture from the first part as Soderbergh jumps to 1965 when Che (Benicio Del Toro) leaves Cuba, renounces his citizenship and tries to lead a revolution in Bolivia.
There is no success this time, no glorious revolution, just suspicion, mistrust on the part of the local population and a series of setbacks that culminated in Guevara's death in 1967.

The tone of the film is sombre, the events depicted are more repetitive, which makes it a much more challenging movie to watch.
The saving graces are a commanding performance from Del Toro and the inspirational humanity of Guevara; even facing defeat and death he still has an unshakable belief that right will prevail and social justice will flourish.
