Soderbergh's CHE films are screening right now!

[dorko76]

"CHE IS BRILLIANT" -- so says Jeffrey Wells who just live posted a quick reaction as GUERRILLA ended and THE ARGENTINE was about to begin. Link to his post HERE

CHE could be a finally a winner like a movie but still far away not like a politics in a real world.

Or simply it's jut a movie or a dream.

 

[Brandon Fraley]

ppl are blogging WHILE the movie is still playing... wonderful...

 

[Sanjin Jukic]

CHE is going to win Cannes for sure.

It's about a spirit of history ('68 spirit) and the present...a lecture...

Just count.

We are at the moment of the present political turmoil in global terms...(still just an ideologically...don't worry... )

 

[Etienne Caron]

Its a technical reason or esthetic choice that the second film is 1.85, not scope ?

 

[Sanjin Jukic]

Just ask about it Steven Soderbergh .

SS wanted a different look to both movies...

Wait, which was anamorphic and which was spherical? I'm guessing Guerilla was spherical 1.85:1 and The Argentine is Anamorphic 2:40 no?

 

[Scott Murphy]

According to Jeff Wells:

...the aspect ratio on the second film is 1.85 to 1, but the first film was in Scope 2.35 to 1.

Oooh, THE PLAYLIST Blog has a lot of stills and a short clips package:

(When my RED number comes up, can I say: "Just give me the Soderbergh package..."?)

Correct.

 

[Radoslav Karapetkov]

When does this go to theaters?!

Oh, I'm sooo going to watch this 3 times in a row.

I hope they give me digital and film projection here so I can go to both and make comparison.

 

[Sanjin Jukic]

The Argentine and Guerilla have been labeled, together, "Lawrence of Latin America"

Cannes 2008 - Premiere of CHE

 

[Damien Molineaux]

Ha,ha, just tell me which one?

Well, at least :

- Le Silence de Lorna by Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne
- Waltz with Bashir by Ari Folman

and certainly some of the other 19 films also in the selection.

I haven't seen any, I've just heard some feedback on those. I don't doubt however Soderbergh's epic is a contender.

We shall see...

Cheers,
Damien
