Often I have thought that IMDb 'scores' for films in a *foreign language* (ie not English) with subtitles seemed to be one point lower than I would have given them...??
I watched Motorcycle Diaries some while back, enjoyed it immensely and readily gave it a score of 9 out of 10 - pretty much my 'top mark'. (A film would have to be exceptional to gain full marks from me.) Since then, I have often thought about it and the events and characters in it - which is the mark of a very good film in my book!
Thinking about it now and remembering it again, it is hard to fault this film which was quite excellent in all respects. In its own way, it was in fact 'quite exceptional'..
Did I also 'deduct one point for subtitles'...???
Anyway - highly recommended for anyone who likes quiet adventure based on a real life story with fascinating character studies set in a superb landscape and scenery.
