There is something to get excited about this week. The upcoming release of Producer and Director Steven Soderbergh’s new biopic The Argentine and Guerilla. Planned as two separate films expected to be released within a week of each other, they will follow the political battles of the all too famous Latin American revolutionary Che Guevara. Focus Features is planning on releasing the films in a few months and there is plenty to be excited about.
By the look of the newly released photographs, Soderbergh’s project will be dark and grimy, differing from the previous attempt on Guevara’s life, The Motorcycle Diaries. I’m sure I would like to see Che’s dark side, since Gael Garcia Bernal wasn’t exactly my idea of a military rebel. If these flicks turn out to be anything like Soderbergh’s previous genius Traffic, we might finally see Guevara from a different perspective, and I’m not talking about that shirt every hippie white kid from the wrong side of the tracks has buried in his closet.

I don’t think hippie white kids are usually from the wrong side of the tracks. I think they’re usually kids from the right side of the tracks disillusioned with ambition and capitalism and obsessed with drugs.
Anyways, sounds like these movies ought to be interesting, although sometimes promotional photos sometimes mislead. Wouldn’t that be something if it ended up being a deadpan satire?
