“When I started making movies, or in a way when movies found me, some things happened very quickly,” the actor told AFP, speaking in English, during a meeting with the press in Berlin.
Having done theater is “something important if you don't want to lose your mind” in the world of stars, he said.
“You can make mistakes. Theater is about trying things that sometimes turn out well and sometimes don't. “You don't always achieve nirvana.”
The actor Gael Garciaa favorite of international filmmakers, originally from Guadalajara, Jalisco, said that he has talked about it on the set with Reinsve, who arrived at the current Berlinale with two films in English: “Another End” and “A Different Man”, a comedy about deformity and beauty.
Reinsve has also done theater. And “we have a lot in common,” said the Mexican actor. “Suddenly, cinema came to us,” added García Bernal, who admits that he has taken some breaks in his career.
“A few years ago it stopped giving me pleasure,” until the filming of the 2013 film “No”, by Pablo Larraín and nominated for an Oscar, about the resistance to the Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, which gave him back “his joy and desire.”
“A good movie lasts a lot of years, compared to a lot of bad movies,” he joked. In short: “You shouldn't worry too much about the ups and downs.”
