Celebrated actor and comedian, Eugenio Derbez, is set to make an appearance at the Gables Cinema Opening Night Event on Friday, November 3. Following the screening of the thought-provoking film “Radical,” Derbez will engage in a stimulating Q&A session with the audience.
Kicking off with a lively reception featuring Mexican music and delectable food and drinks. The ambiance will transport attendees into a world of Mexican culture, setting the stage for an enchanting cinematic experience.
“Radical,” which recently won the Sundance Festival Favorite Award, tells the inspiring story of sixth-grade students at Jose Urbina Lopez Elementary in Matamoros, Mexico. These students face significant challenges in a world plagued by violence and hardship. However, their lives are forever changed when an unconventional teacher, portrayed brilliantly by Eugenio Derbez, enters the picture.
Directed by Christopher Zalla, who previously won the U.S. Dramatic Grand Jury Prize at Sundance with his film “Padre Nuestro” in 2007, “Radical” sheds light on the transformative power of education and the remarkable potential that lies within every child. Through innovative teaching methods and a belief in the joy of learning, this film demonstrates how even the most overlooked and apathetic children can be sparked with curiosity and thrive.
In the role of Sergio Juarez, Eugenio Derbez delivers a sensitive and compelling performance, capturing the essence of a teacher who is determined to make a difference. Screen Rant praises Derbez’s portrayal, stating that the strength of the story rests firmly on his shoulders.
Variety warns audiences to have tissues ready when watching “Radical,” indicating the emotional impact that this heartwarming tale carries. The film serves as a reminder of the limitless potential that lies within each child and the importance of empowering them to think for themselves.
Tickets for the Red Carpet Opening Night Event will be available to cinema members before the general public, with sales beginning on Saturday, October 28.
