I've gushed about this Mexican actor Gael Garcia Bernal before, and lamented that he hasn't been in major American movies so that people will appreciate his wonderfulnes. Well that's changing!
I went to see "The Science of Sleep" which I think is getting some national exposure. It's a bizarre and beautiful and I must say somewhat disturbing movie, and Gael is great in it. I hadn't realized that it was a French movie, though, mostly in English with some French and Spanish as well, so that will probably limit its audience.
BUT! One of the trailers was for a movie coming out later this month - "Babel", in which GGB gets top line billing along with Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. Finally a major broad-distribution mainstream film
so now everyone can go see what I'm on about!
And from the preview our boy will be looking particularly guapo, too.

Heh.
Okay, I'll put the squee back in the box for now. (Can't wait till Oct. 27!)
