#gael garcía bernal #me estás matando susana #ggb filmography gifs #gael garcia bernal #there's more nuance to this film than you might think from the trailer #can't find the interview now but roberto sneider said he needed to come up with a way to still have the audience kind of root for eligio #and understand why susana hadn't just left him years ago #in spite of what an asshole he is at the start of the film #and realised that casting gael was the trick that made that work #i appreciate he looks sad in all of these but it is a comedy i promise just a comedy in which he's sad a lot #it's interesting to see a mexican view of the usa captured here too #btw you would not believe the effort i had to go to to get english subtitles of this #or even spanish subtitles which would have been fine #but apparently there are no deaf people in spain because spanish region 2 dvd has no subtitles at all other than for the english sections #grrr #(and the only english-language srt file i could find was terrible) #i mean it had a us cinema release the official subtitles must exist somewhere #you're killing me susana
