LOS ANGELES, Jan 16 – The 28th Palm Spring International Film Festival in the United States awarded today the most recent work by Mexican actor Gael García Bernal, one of the leading actors in the film Neruda.

For making the film, Chilean director Pablo Larraín chose to evade the schemes of a biography and ventured into an interpretation of the life of the Chilean renowned poet, to fill possible emotions of a soul through a fictitious dialogue between the writer and a detective characterized by García Bernal.

This character is part of the search and capture operation that carried out the government of Gabriel González Videla (1946-1952) on Neruda, along with a campaign to malign the image of the poet.

The jury of the 28th edition of the festival that concluded on Monday granted the award for Best Actor in a Foreign Language Film to García Bernal for his work in the film that also won four Fénix Awards in Mexico for Best Bilm, Costumes, Edition and Art Design.

According to the juri, Bernal’s performance is at the heart of the tonal changes of the film, and contributes to the historical drama with the same poetry of the theme.
The 38th Festival of the New Latin American Cinema, the largest film event in Cuba, awarded Estefanía Larraín last December with the Coral for Best Artistic Direction and Hervé Schneid for Best Edition.
