Che: Part One
Ernesto "Che" Guevara (Benicio Del Toro) transforms from intellectual, asthmatic doctor to one of Latin America's legendary revolutionaries. In the years before his famous 1964 visit to the United Nations, Che joins forces with Cuban exile Fidel Castro (Demián Bichir) and ignites a revolution that eventually brings an end to the Batista regime in Cuba.

Director Steven Soderbergh's two-part, four-hour "Che" is part folly and part fulfillment, a methodical if coolly romantic portrait of the most familiar 1960s T-shirt icon outside the peace symbol. Some would argue way, way outside the peace symbol. Whatever your political sympathies, Soderbergh's project is likely to exasperate, less for what's there than for what it excludes. It's a triptych with the middle panel missing. Why ignore such a provocative part of any subject's life, the one in which idealistic political theory is tested by controversial, bloody practice?
