Actor Gael García Bernal’s directing debut is infused with an infectious, youthful energy, voyeuristically following his complex characters at a house party just outside of Mexico City.
Bourgeois, rich kid Cristobal (García Bernal) is having his friends over for a barbecue at his parents’ weekend home. His younger sister (Camila Sodi) and her hippie, pill-popping friends are also staying at the house, and the clash between the two groups of friends, brother and sister, and their childhood friend who works for the family is just the beginning of the story.
Bernal uses subtle undercurrents of tension to seamlessly interlace characters, time and place. Both comic and reflective, DEFICIT is an elegant allegory for current Mexico on the brink of change. Shot in an immediate, improvisational style that emphasizes the class chasms, Bernal elicits layered performances from his young cast, proving himself to be a gifted director as well as a charismatic actor.
Preview of the movie you have at home. awww dammnit, no longer avail.
quick, watch this one before it goes away again:
"The Science of Sleep" comes out this week. I can't wait. The movie looks "abstract" - which I might enjoy - but, MUCH more importantly, the lead is Gael Garcia Bernal. I believe he is the most beautiful man I've ever seen. Just looking at images of him (movie / photos) does my heart good. I want to meet him - and not some passing, "Gael - aahhhhh!" wave & scream thing - actually MEET him. I wonder what I'd say... other than blelehlerbeluhllbb (drooling-babble speak for, "my GAWD you are SEXY!").
I recently met William Fichtner (the Sherriff Tom Underlay on Invasion, and been in bunches of movies) at a movie premier. I never really noticed him in TV/movies but, goodness that man is handsome in real life! I was late for a restaurant opening so I simply walked up, introduced myself, said, "Gawd, you are good looking. Have a nice night." and left.
and, btw, doesn't that all just sound so L.A.? "I had to rush my celeb encounter at a movie premier in order to attend a restaurant opening." I love that. It wasn't nearly as cool as it sounds - but I doubt I could even claim it if I lived anywhere but SoCal or NewYork.
i still haven't hung up the clothes (see 2 posts ago).
