There are few ways to convey the brutality of war without resorting to formulaic presentation. This is a novel way that delivers with precision, without cynicism, and although you know where the director stakes his political allegiances you still feel and underlying honesty of purpose. The controversial ending will be commented for years to come.

I really don't know what some reviewers below are smoking. The acting of Johannes Krisch is absolutely top notch, it brings humanity to a character that would otherwise be despicable, such skill deserves to be recognized, not snubbed at. How can one judged if something is "lazily written"? Some people throw phrases around in a far too facile manner.

This part is definitively not as good as the first one. It is necessary watching if you need to round Che's character, but I think a long but single feature film could have been achieved by trimming all the unnecessary fat from both films, specially this one.

The film was not in Spanish btw. I believe it was in Catalan.

So this is now billed at 90 something minutes. Well. When I saw it in the LFF it was overlong and frankly terribly boring. The director was present and so nervous that was apologizing about the movie *before* the projection started. The film is a long pseudo philosophical take on the Quixote, but it is no more than set pieces in which we watch one or the other protagonists doing nothing, or talking nonsense.

I think only the French can make an affair look this desirable and excruciating. It is almost an art form, but beware of the consequences. I really enjoyed, full of cliches but the tension is there.

A bit too long, but it was well crafted. We get the real Omar Shariff, closer to his root and at times very moving.
