Where: The Dendy
Cost: $15.00 waged and $12.00 for concession
Booking: 07 3388 0051
The Motorcycle Diaries is based on the famous memoirs of Ernesto Che Guevara. It tells the story of an eight-month journey that Che (Gael Garcia Bernal) and his cousin Alberto Granado (played by Ches descendent Rodrigo de la Serna) took in the early Fifties, two idealists intent on discovering the real South America on an old Norton 500. Far from a political polemic the film is one of the best buddy/road trip movies ever made. An against the odds adventure that makes you want to pack up and ride into the sunset in a cloud of oil and smoke. Tickets available at Skinnys Music (City), Butter Beats (Valley) and K2 Base Camp (Valley)
