In 2002, "The Son Of The Bride" was another success even internationally when nominated as best foreign language film in the Oscars. In 2006, he was granted with the Spanish nationality because of his exceptional work in the cinematography in Spanish language. In 2007, he personified the father of a misterious girl in "XXY".

He has a daughter named Clara and a son called Ricardo. They all live in Argentina and according to the lastest news were victims of house burglary not long ago.
