Unless the distibutor releases it as 2 films, which is possible. At 4 1/2 hours total running time, that would almost surely reduce box office receipts, and we all know how much the studios love to maximize profit.The Obenson Reporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12327489832781036602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186698165589554338.post-43725672140823920492008-05-14T23:12:00.000-04:002008-05-14T23:12:00.000-04:004.5 hours seems like a really long film but it doe...4.5 hours seems like a really long film but it doesn't seem so bad when you realise it's really two films. Still, coming in at a collective 4.5 hours, I guess that's still two long films.<BR/><BR/>'The Argentine' dramatises the struggle of Che and Fidel Castro to topple Cuba's Batista regime in 1956; and <BR/><BR/>'The Guerrilla' charts the episode when, eight years later, Che travelled to New York to address the UN.<BR/><BR/>Apparently it is (or, they are?) early favourite(s) to win the Palme d'Or. Or maybe I should say Soderbergh is early favourite to win, whether for both films, I'm not sure.<BR/><BR/>I loved 'Motorcycle Diaries, but I think I may wait for these to come out on DVD so I can pause for pee-breaks.The Wendilicious Wonderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06380114669771631713noreply@blogger.com
