‘Another End’ Star Gael García Bernal and Director Piero Messina Discuss the Central Question Behind the Berlin Drama: ‘What Happens After Death?’
Gael García Bernal and Italian director Piero Messina talk Berlin competition drama 'Another End,' in which Bernal and Renate Reinsve star as lovers.
Gael García Bernal and Renate Reinsve (“The Worst Person in the World”) star as lovers caught in an unusual bind in Italian director Piero Messina’s unconventional sci-fi film “ Another End,” which is competing in Berlin.
