MUSEO
A FILM BY ALONSO RUIZPALACIOS (GÜEROS)
Starring Gael García Bernal
"Fabulously entertaining. Irresistibly inventive. Hitchcock, Looney Tunes,
Rififi... and Bresson... Ruizpalacios pulls it off with a joyful sureness."
- Jessica Kiang, Variety
- Jessica Kiang, Variety
"Has the mark of a true original. A classy, inventive venture [and] a superbly executed character study." - Jonathan Romney, ScreenDaily
"An endlessly entertaining, challenging investigation of history that confirms Ruizpalacios' status as the next big thing in Mexican cinema." - Bradley Warren, The Playlist
Well into their 30s, Juan Nuñez (Gael García Bernal) and Benjamín Wilson (Leonardo Ortizgris) still can't seem to finish veterinary school or leave their parents' homes. Instead, they wallow in comfortable limbo in the district of Satelite, Mexico City's version of an American suburb. On a fateful Christmas Eve, however, they decide it's finally time to distinguish themselves by executing the most infamous cultural artifacts heist in all of Mexican history, looting the country's iconic National Anthropology Museum.
Inspired by true events, and shot on never-before-filmed locations in Mexico, Museo is a sardonic cautionary tale that underscores the old adage: you don't know what you have until you lose it.
Starring Gael Garcia Bernal, Leonardo Ortizgris, Alfredo Castro and Simon Russell Beale, Museo is Alonso Ruizpalacios's second feature after the award-winning festival hit GÜEROS.
