I want to see this.
Gael Garcia Bernal had an interesting quote re: his own sexuality.
[quote] [Straight] is a definition that I’ve fortunately never allowed society or family or whatever to impose on me. This is what I am. If forced to do that, then I would not sign it. I would not sign the paper.

I actually had tickets a few weeks ago to a free screening and ended up not being able to make it.

Very strange genre for a homophobic culture.

R7, wrestling has always straddled the thin line between machismo and homoeroticism.

Loved the film. SPOILER: Kept expecting something bad to happen, since in so many gay movies, the gay character is killed or murders someone or is punished for being gay. Also amazed that Gael Garcia Bernal, at his age (44), was able to pull off this role.
