...lover capable of murder. But that's no great stretch for Gael García Bernal. The budding Mexican star has convinced audiences he can be a dog-loving street punk (Amores Perros), a priest tortured by love (El Crimen del Padre Amaro), a randy teenager on a spree (Y Tu Mamá También). In The Motorcycle Diaries, which just opened, he incarnates the young Ernesto Guevara, soon to be Che. Bad Education follows in November, and after that, who knows? The kid from Guadalajara, Mexico, is high on Hollywood's muy caliente list, though he has yet to make...

...pursue and fall in love with them. The Almodóvar and Zhang films foregrounded a crucial movie element often lost in Cannes' ponderous auteur gazing: star quality. 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...
