The Motorcycle Diaries (Full Screen Edition) [DVD]

Movie / Show Details

Walter Salles directs this 2004 biographical drama based on the journals of Ernesto “Che” Guevara. The film chronicles a transformative motorcycle journey across South America undertaken by a young medical student and his friend in the 1950s, an adventure that would profoundly influence Guevara’s revolutionary convictions. Gael García Bernal and Rodrigo De la Serna star in this Spanish-language film with English subtitles, which traces how youthful idealism and exposure to poverty and injustice shaped a pivotal historical figure.

This is a single-disc DVD in full screen format with a runtime of two hours and six minutes, rated R and released by Focus Features. The disc includes deleted scenes, interviews with cast and filmmakers, a making-of featurette, and a piece on composer Gustavo Santaolalla’s score.
