Gael Garcia Bernal and Alonso Ruizpalacios on 'Museo' and the Real-Life Heist That Inspired It

One of the many films to play at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival was director Alonso Ruizpalacios’s Museo. Inspired by true events, and shot on never-before filmed locations in Mexico, the film is about two best friends (Gael García Bernal and Leonardo Ortizgris) that steal a number of Mayan artifacts from Mexico City’s National Museum of Anthropology on Christmas Eve in the mid-1980s. While the heist ends up going off without a hitch, things get a lot more complicated when they try and sell off the relics. Museo also stars Alfredo Castro and Simon Russell Beale.

Shortly after seeing the film, I got to speak with Gael Garcia Bernal and Alonso Ruizpalacios at the Collider Studio. During the interview, they talked about what it meant premiering their film at TIFF, what the film is about, how much changed from the first idea to the finish product, memorable moments from filming, how hands-on Bernal is in the editing room when he is off set, and more. In addition, towards the end of the interview they played “Get to Know Your TIFF Attendee”, which includes questions like what TV show they would love to guest-spot on, their favorite sci-fi or fantasy film, what is the background on their phone, what movie have they watched more than 20 times, and if they own any movie or TV show props.
