Che, Spanish trailer

A couple of days ago, a cam bootleg of Soderbergh’s “Che, el argentino” surfaced online. I wanted to wait for a better version before posting, and now we have one.¬† (Yahoo Espa√±a source.)

It was already clear that the film is stunningly photographed, even in bootleg quality, and this sharper video reveals a terrific richness and authenticity of historic texture. Shot by Roderick Jaynes’ cousin *cough*, “Peter Andrews” (a.k.a., Soderbergh himself), Che appears to seamlessly match actual footage so skillfully that it feels as real as a vintage documentary.¬† On the basis of this first look alone, I’m tempted to start making noise about n*m*n*t**ns, but you know my habit of jumping the gun so I’ll try to get a grip. Can I at least say that this is unequivocally the best trailer I’ve seen all year?

Soderbergh talks about using the, um, revolutionary new digital camera, Red One, after the cut.

wiki:

Director Steven Soderbergh has shot his two features recently screened at the Cannes Film Festival: Guerrilla and The Argentine entirely with the Red One camera. Soderbergh is very enthusiastic about the camera, saying that “this is the camera I’ve been waiting for my whole career: jaw-dropping imagery recorded onboard a camera light enough to hold with one hand. I don’t know how Jim and the Red team did it‚Äîand they won’t tell me‚Äîbut I know this: Red is going to change everything.”
