NYFF. Che.
“Che seems to me almost the polar opposite of agitprop,” writes Glenn Kenny. “It flat out does not ask for the kind of emotional engagement that more conventional epic biopics do, and that’s a good thing. To see people who position themselves as new voices, with new perspectives, in cinematic discourse, complain about this movie’s lack of ‘human drama’ is mildly exasperating.” Brace yourself, Glenn, here we go…
“If the traditional biopic is felled by forced emotional touchpoints that exaggerate or misrepresent their real-life equivalents,” writes Karina Longworth at the SpoutBlog, “Che has the opposite problem: in producing a versimilar portrait of two temporally disconnected chunks of Che’s public life, Soderbergh has made a movie called Che that tells us nothing about Che, which largely relies on that lovely cinematography and dynamic score to fill in the emotional beats that the directior hasn’t brought out of the material.”
