Through his previous directorial efforts Déficit and Chicuarotes, Gael García Bernal unflinchingly explored class dynamics, economic inequality, and contemporary Mexican social realities with poise and a deft blend of tragedy and comedy. His latest directorial work, Hombre al agua, finds the actor-turned-filmmaker interrogating ideas in a story that, while at times meandering, ultimately serves as a stirring call to action and striking condemnation of the ways in which the wealthy exploit the poor.
