The Motorcycle Diaries On DVD.

The Motorcycle Diaries has been hailed as “the best picture of the year” by Leonard Maltin of “Entertainment Tonight.” Now, “one of the great films of this, or any year” (Jeffrey Lyons, NBC-TV) comes to DVD, from Universal Studios Home Entertainment, on February 15, 2005. Directed by Walter Salles (Academy Award(R) nominee for Central Station) and executive-produced by Academy Award(R) winner Robert Redford (Best Director for Ordinary People), The Motorcycle Diaries stars three of today’s hottest young actors: Gael García Bernal (Y Tu Mamá También, Bad Education), Independent Spirit Award nominee (Best Debut Performance) Rodrigo de la Serna, and Mía Maestro (Alias). Based on the inspiring real-life story of a brave trip across a continent on a motorcycle, the film follows the thrilling and life-changing journey of two young men, Ernesto Guevara de la Serna and Alberto Granado, all across Latin America. Surprising and exciting destinations await the two best friends – one of whom, Ernesto, later became known to the world as “El Che” Guevara.
