The Motorcycle Diaries
Judy and I went to a movie last night, which we do about three times a year. Given the rarity of that, we decided to see something that would be much better in a theater than on DVD. We certainly found it in
The Motorcycle Diaries. (Well, that's the English title: it's really called "Diarios de motocicleta".) It was somewhat of a hit earlier this year, but is still playing in art houses, and for very good reason. The story is compelling, the acting is great (by all players, not just the two stars), and the wide shots of early spring in South America are stunningly gorgeous. The latter is a very good reason to see it in a theater; the fact that it is subtitled is another. Quite different than anything else in the normal xmas Hollywood holiday crush.
