Perros and Y Tu Mama Tambien, which turned Mexican cinema into an 97 ESRTTQESETTH'S international force. Then he played the role of Che Guevara in The Motorcycle Diaries and a complex trio of personalities in Pedro Almodévar’s Bad Education. Now, Bernal’s completed his first English language movie, The King, which opens the Glasgow Film Festival. The I film’s progress is being closely watched by Hollywood moguls because . next up, Bernal stars opposite Charlotte Gainsbourg in a movie directed Rear View ! by Michel Gondry (who made Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind).
