Che: Part One & Two (2 Disc) (Blu-ray)

Blu ray came today 2 days early so watched them both today. I have to say when it started it was very grainy - very much The Wrestler style so worried it may all be like this. However the visual styling is that the grain is to do with the political parts - when it transfers to the jungle the colours are so sharp and vibrant they jump off the screen. Both volumes of the film for this price is also noteworthy considering their separate retail price.

Brilliant performance by one of my favourite actors, BDT. Thoroughly reccomend this film to any fan of Soderbergh or BDT, and of course those who want to learn about Che is a fun, vibrant and interesting fashion.

I went to see Che parts 1 & 2 at the cinema when they were released. Both films are in spanish with english subtitles. If you dont like films with subs dont worry you get used to it very quickly. The language helps to make it more realistic, it would not have the same effect if the actors all spoke in english/american.

I was a bit worried that, like the cinema release, both blu ray films would be released seperately so its nice to know that some distribution companies know how to treat their customers.

As for the films, Benicio Del Toro puts in a perfectly understated performance, he really holds the films together. Sometimes both films can be a bit hard to watch, not because of violence, because they are very slow burners, i found it very difficult to sit still for both films, there are a lot of politics!!!! Never the less the films are well worth a visit, i am looking forward to seeing how blu ray brings out the greens and browns of the forest that Che takes place in.

The transfer of the two part's of the movie are very good,the picture and audio are both excellent.
