...Guevara characterized in Walter Salles’ seductive new film The Motorcycle Diaries is a far cry from the iconic figure, sporting beard and beret, found in so many dorm rooms and poetry lounges. This is Ernesto Guevara de la Serna (Gael Garc??a Bernal) in his mid-twenties, before he was Che.

But whatever the on-the-set spats, the results are spectacular. Whether sporting a macho beard or a cascading blond wig, Garc??a Bernal makes his character sexy, annoying ... fully human.
