IFC has secured the U.S. distribution rights to Steven Soderbergh’s Che. It will be released wide in January after an Oscar qualifying run in late December. Why this is exciting to me is it means it will also be available on IFC's Video on Demand service, which my cable provider subscribes to. By no means would I want to watch this at home on TV but if it is not released in my area at least I will have the means to see it. This service is the only way I was able to see Paranoid Park earlier and the year and part of My Winnipeg recently, as neither of these films were ever released in the DFW area (or at least I as unaware of them being so).
The problem here comes in temptation. If the film is available with the on demand service while it is making its qualifying run, will I be able to hold out to seeing it on the big screen? It is a good problem to have, as at least now I can guarantee I will be seeing this highly anticipated film some time this year or early next.
