About This Movie

So, here’s a curious little piece from 2003, 'Meeting Che Guevara & the Man from Maybury Hill.' Directed by Anthony Byrne, it's a short film that dives into a quirky blend of history and sci-fi. The backdrop is Che Guevara’s unexpected layover at Shannon Airport, but then it takes a turn into the realm of the Invisible Man. The atmosphere is strangely surreal, with a pacing that keeps you on your toes. The practical effects are pretty nifty for a short, adding a layer of intrigue. Performances are solid, too; they don’t try too hard, which suits the tone. It’s a unique take on historical fiction that stands out for its oddity and charm.
