...Cannes, some movie each year is referred to as the most eagerly anticipated of the festival. There should be another category - most acutely dreaded - and this time that was Che. At an announced running time of 4hr.28min. (it wound up at about 4hr.20min.), and with the madly idiosyncratic Benicio Del Toro as his star, the film wasn't promising so much as it was threatening...
...with American items from Oscar-winning directors. This year Clint Eastwood brings Changeling, starring Angelina Jolie, and Woody Allen has Vicky Christina Barcelona, with Oscar-winner Javier Bardem, Oscar-nominee Penelope Cruz and Woody's latest muse, Scarlett Johansson.

Dwight is chasing crooked cop Jackie Boy, who is played with gleeful and gravelly-voiced creepiness by Benicio del Toro. Watching the two foils interact—Dwight as the shining protector of women, Jackie-boy as the sinister beater of barmaids—is another of the film’s great interplays. In a wry sequence guest-directed by Quentin Tarantino, the half-decapitated Jackie Boy taunts a hallucinating Dwight...
