Love Story Of A Troubled Married Couple

... a troubled married couple. 'You're Killing Me Susana'. Gael García Bernal and Verónica Echegui in "You're Killing Me Susana.". (Cuévano Films). Rick Bentley The Fresno Bee. Most films focusing on the trials and tribulations of being in love tend to gravitate toward one of the principle parties. This structure creates a situation where one of the pair is saintly while the other is a sinner. In "You're Killing Me Susana," the screenplay by Luis Camara based on the novel by Jose Agustin doesn't take such a definitive stand. There are moments when each side of the romantic equation deserves sympathy and other times when they earn disdain. The way the film flawlessly slips between these emotional tent poles is what makes it so compelling to watch. At the heart of the story are Eligio (played by Golden Globe winner Gael Garcia Bernal ), and his wife Susana (Veronica Echegui). Both are involved with the arts: He's a soap opera actor in Mexico City and she's a promising writer. MOST ...

Trump's Muslim Ban Takes Hit

... film. "They helped Richard and Mildred (Loving) change the Constitution of the United States and the fight for civil rights and I'm all for that," she said on the red carpet. "So should everybody, really. And I think that charities like that are important now and they're a watchdog of sorts and that's important in our society.".

Director Barry Jenkins, nominated for Moonlight, realized in the middle of a red carpet interview that he had lost his ACLU ribbon pin. He didn't know what he would say if he wins, but "I think art is inherently political," and he supports any artists who speak out about politics at the show. The stars have not had any trouble expressing their support for the Constitution — and their condemnation of Trump — in the past two months of Hollywood's annual orgy of self-congratulation. But ...

Gael García Bernal Hits The Midwest In Cross-culture Comedy 'you're Killing Me Susana

... Roberto Sneider's You're Killing Me Susana (Me estás matando Susana) is a culture-clash comedy in which the clash happens both onscreen and off. Eligio (Gael García Bernal) is a self-absorbed telenovela character actor in Mexico City who thinks nothing of carousing and cheating on his novelist wife Susana (Verónica Echegui), and yet is surprised and angry to wake up one morning to find she's left him. He tracks her down at a writing seminar at a university in Iowa, where he ingratiates himself into her life Benjamin Braddock–style, though Susana is a bit more accepting of his return than Elaine was. Sneider's film has curious structural echoes of one of the best fish-out-of-water stories of recent years, 2015's Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter (particularly as Eligio makes his way through the wintry Midwest), but the breezier Susana lacks that film's sense of both personal jeopardy and existential malaise, instead examining modern masculinity, Mexican stereotypes and especially the privilege of beauty. Gael García Bernal could still charm the chrome off a bumper on his worst day, so it's worth speculating ...

Can Gael Garcia Bernal Be Praised Enough

... reality. The Science of Sleep (2006). Bernal won his first Golden Globe for the Amazon series Mozart in the Jungle in 2016. As the conductor of a fictional New York Symphony Orchestra, Bernal’s Rodrigo de Souza injects energy into the cold and rigid world of classical music. He takes risks with impunity and spurns authority. Bernal has conversations with a young Mozart, his foremost maestro and spiritual guide, and bunks fundraising events to celebrate the birthday of his driver’s sister. The show has spectacular concerts at the Hollywood Bowl, operas in Venice and a massive orchestra, but Bernal is undoubtedly the star. Mozart in the Jungle (2016). With movies like Iñárritu’s multi-starrer Babel (2006) and Jonas Cuaron’s thriller Desertio (2016), Bernal is becoming a Hollywood fixture. He is one of the presenters of the Academy Awards in 2017. He will also play the successor to Antonio Banderas’s Zorro in Cuarón’s futuristic reboot of ...

The Subversive Pleasure Of Gael García Bernal's Scoundrel In 'you’re Killing Me Susana

... "You're Killing Me Susana." (Hola Mexico Distribution). We see where Susana has gone before Eligio finds out, but a Google search eventually reveals that she has been accepted at a workshop for international writers at fictional Middlebrook University in Iowa. Clearly upset, Eligio sells his car to buy a plane ticket to the United States, where his cavalier attitude amusingly gets him into trouble first with U. S. customs and then with a troublesome cabbie who drives him from the airport to the bucolic campus. Once Eligio connects with his wife (who, much to his disgust, everyone calls Susie), a series of surprises is in store, one for the audience being the realization that his reprobate actions notwithstanding, he really loves Susana. The surprise for Eligio is that though Susana, after the initial shock has worn off, is clearly happy to see him, she has also started a ...

Jimmy Kimmel, Gael Garcia Bernal, Asghar Farhadi, Barry Jenkins Mark Their Protest Against Donald Trump

... Trump's comment in which he called Meryl Streep an "overrated actress" after she slammed his policies in her Golden Globes acceptance speech. He even pointed to her shoes and asked, "Are those Ivanka (Trump)?". Later on in the show, Jimmy expressed his disappointment that Trump was yet to tweet about the Oscars. In order to garner his attention, Jimmy actually tweeted at Trump. Hey @real Donald Trump u up. — Jimmy Kimmel (@jimmykimmel) February 27, 2017. The tweet got more than 2,30,000 retweets but unlike Ellen De Generes' selfie stunt, it did not cause Twitter to crash. Thankfully. Make immigrants welcome. Award presenter Gael Garcia Bernal also took the opportunity to protest against Trump and his infamous pledge to build a wall on the US-Mexico border. "As a migrant worker, a Mexican, as a Latin American, as a human being, I am against any kind of wall that divides ...

A Messy Marriage In Gael Garcia Bernal's 'you're Killing Me Susana

... no idea what he’s going to do once he finds her, other than bring her home. RELATED: Get out to see 'Get Out:' It's fearless, funny and scary  |  Promising 'American Fable' doesn't quite deliver  |  'Bitter Harvest:' Good heart, mediocre film. Of course, that's not as easy as it sounds. Susana — who now goes by Susie, to Eligio's disgust — loves her life on campus. She also has hooked up with a bearish Polish writer (Björn Hlynur Haraldsson) who says little but stands around with an artsy, smoldering look on his face. Will she leave the poet? Does she even want to go back to Eligio. A car ride becomes painful In "You're Killing Me Susana" for Susana (Verónica Echegui) and Eligio (Gael Garcia Bernal). (Photo: La Banda Films). The movie, written by Luis Cámara and director Roberto Sneider from a book by José Agustín, unfolds in a way that feels messy — not in a cinematic sense, but in the complex way life does. ...

Celebs Unleashed On Hollywood's Big Night

... he’s probably the wrong person to unite the country. “I can’t do that,” Kimmel said as the camera shifted to showing Hacksaw Ridge director Mel Gibson, a best director nominee, seated in the audience. “There’s only one Braveheart in this room — and he’s not going to unite us either.”. After the monologue, Kimmel was far from done: “Doctor Strange was nominated for special effects — and also Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.”. Later, when Iranian director Asghar Farhadi won for The Salesman, the award was accepted on his behalf by Anousheh Ansari, famed for being the first female space tourist. Ansari read a blistering letter from Farhadi , who declared last month he would not attend the Oscars in the wake of Trump’s executive order blocking citizens from Iran and six other predominantly Muslim countries from entering the U. S. (The ban has since been halted by judicial decisions.). “I’m sorry I’m not with you tonight,” Farhadi ...
