Bad Education's lead actor is Mexico's Gael García Bernal, who rocketed to international celebrity in Y Tu Mamá También, and who plays the young Ernesto Guevara, pre-Che, in Walter Salles' The Motorcycle Diaries. Salles makes icons of the struggling (but always beautiful) poor of South America until the movie becomes a kind of liberal cornography, but García Bernal commands the screen with a winsome power.
