9:00 p.m. “The Motorcycle Diaries” directed by Walter Salles

This road movie retells an episode in the early life of revolutionary Che Guevara. In 1952, Ernesto Guevara (Gael García Bernal), then a 23-year-old medical student, joined Alberto Granado (Rodrigo de la Serna) on an ambitious 5000-mile South American motorcycle trek. As Salles’s film suggests, the things Guevara saw and the people he met were essential in transforming him into the world-famous political figure of the ‘60s. Appeared at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival

Followed by:

“Oedipus” directed by Jason Wishnow

Filmmaker Jason Wishnow employs stop-motion animation and a cast fresh from the produce aisle to serve a memorable spoof of Hollywood epics in a witty retelling of the classic Greek drama. Appeared at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. Runtime 08:32.
