sessedup Review of The Motorcycle Diaries

The Motorcycle Diaries (2004)

A rare case where I like the movie more than the book

[7/10 · 16 September 2020]

I read Che's diary and I gotta say, the cinematography, well-rounded characters, and of course, Gael Garcia Bernal's gorgeous face, made this movie more alluring than the book. I've watched it twice and the story does get richer with age. It's also inspired my own travels through South America, with Che's troubles over injustice in the back of my mind. Would recommend.
