A disarmingly gentle account of a trip taken by revolutionary Ernesto “Che” Guevara (Gael Garcia Bernal) across South America when he was 22. Directed by Walter Salles, the movie’s politics are subtle – you’d be hard-pressed to draw a line from here to the Cuban Revolution, of which Guevara was an instrumental part – taking a back seat to the contours of the continent itself. This is mostly the story of how a landscape and its people formed a man.
