Bernal debuts with Deficit
Updated on 01 June 2008
Acclaimed actor Gael Garcia Bernal has spent time on both sides of the camera for his latest movie.
The Mexican heart-throb shot to fame with performances in Y Tu Mama Tambien, Amores Perros and the Motorcycle Diaries.
Bernal focusses on the social problems of his homeland in Deficit, which marks his directorial debut.
He also stars in the low-budget film, set at a party at the holiday retreat of a wealthy Mexican family.
It was something of a gamble but the film has just been released commercially in Mexico and is set to be distributed around the world after getting rave reviews.
