Mexican actor and filmmaker Gael García Bernal has been awarded the Order of Arts and Letters by the French Ministry of Culture in recognition of his extensive career in film.
And about damn time – from his early 2000 breakthrough in both Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Amores Perros and Alfonso Cuarón’s Y Tu Mama Tambien to Bad Education, The Motorcycle Diaries, No and the more recent The Wasp Network and Another End, the actor has steadily shown he is one of Mexico’s finest cinematic exports.
