The Motorcycle Diaries

Directed by Walter Salles
Released in 2004

I have been meaning to watch this movie for a while now and I am really glad I finally got around to it. With every Latin American movie I watch, my respect for their cinema grows. The story was great, the direction extremely intelligent and the cinematography stunning. It is a slow-paced movie but by no means was it a boring one. Funny at first and then poignant, it kept me emotionally, intellectually and visually engaged throughout.
