The Science of Sleep

Bruce says: “Gael Garcia Bernal (Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN, BAD EDUCATION, AMORES PERROS, THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES, and THE CRIME OF FATHER AMARO) has extraordinary talent. THE SCIENCE OF SLEEP is a wise choice for his resume, literally a showcase for

Babel (2006)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 2.5 cats
Director: Alejandro González Iñárritu
Starring: Adriana Barraza | Brad Pitt | Cate Blanchett | Elle Fanning | Gael García Bernal | Koji Yakusho | Mohamed Akhzam | Rinko Kikuchi

Babel

Michael says: “Alejandro González Iñárritu’s third feature to be released in the U.S. is a sprawling mess with a lot of intriguing ideas, but with way too much story for one film. It’s also a film with a message, and

Rating: 2.25
Director: Matthew Parkhill
Starring: Gael García Bernal | James D'Arcy | Natalia Verbeke

dot the i

Hilary says: “I’m terming this one Gael Garcia Bernal’s DIRTY DANCING: HAVANA NIGHTS. Please avoid the Hollywood Normative route your Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN costar has taken, GGB! “This flick has an enjoyably sick twist but no substance, so isn’t

The Crime of Padre Amaro (2002)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 2.5 cats
Director: Carlos Carrera
Starring: Ana Claudia Talancón | Damien Alcazar | Gael García Bernal | Sancho Gracia

The Crime of Padre Amaro

Laura says: “Or should that title be the crimes of Father Amaro? Carlos Carrera’s pot boiler, adapted from an 1875 novel by screenwriter Vicente Lenero, is long on licentiousness and short on subtlety. While the grey shadings of Benito’s character

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 4.4
Director: Alejandro González Iñárritu
Starring: Emilio Echevarrio | Gael García Bernal | Goya Toledo

Amores Perros

Hilary says: “AMORES PERROS is a film that I’d heard a lot about, but wasn’t sure would be to my liking. However, I found myself completely drawn in for the entire 2-plus hours. “Initially I was taken aback by the
