New movie with Gael García Bernal: El Pasado (The Past)

Title: El Pasado (The Past)
Released: 2007

Gael García Bernal stars in Argentine/Brazilian film: El Pasado, directed by Argentine director Hector Babenco. The story starts where a relationship ends: after 12 years of marriage, Rímini (Gael García Bernal) and Sophia (Analía Couceyro) decide to separate. Once Rímini moves out of the couple's Buenos Aires apartment, Sophia begins to pursue him. At first, her concerns are practical: she wants them both to divide the couple's lifetime of photos. Later, her pursuit is to hold on to the history they shared together: a history that Rímini considers the past. Meanwhile, Rímini moves on: he meets other women, advances in his career, becomes a father. Despite his attempts to form a new life for himself, his past, in the form of Sophia, haunts him. El Pasado definitely falls into the category of Latin films that aren't afraid of a racy sex scene or the naked human body...
