Whether you know his story or not, you know the face. Whether on a t-shirt, dorm room poster, coffee mug, or button, Ernesto “Che” Guevara has become an inter-generational pop symbol for rebellion, to the dismay of true revolutionaries around the world. While there have been films, both documentaries and dramatizations, and books written about Guevara, Steven Soderbergh has finally presented the world with a heart breakingly honest portrayal of the man behind the icon. This film does not “cuddle up” to you, it presents Guevara and the surrounding events often at a distance.
