Y tu mamá también (2001)
Cuaron surprises...
I don't think i've heard someone in the past weeks not making any kind of remarks about "Y tu mama tambien". Some loved it, some absolutely hated it, at the end, everyone just ran to the movie theatres to watch it. Cuaron is one of my favorites, because he's mexican, because he's brave, because he's had the guts to make films here and in the US, he's looked for a place that now he has earned with a lot of work. "Y tu mama tambien" maybe not be the best of Cuaron movies, but it's not the worst. It's not the sex what bothers, or the dirty words almost troughout all the movie, what really bothers is that there is just only one pourpose at the end: to make you laugh, to entertain. In Mexico we still think that our cinema ows to be political, social and with a message for the masses. We don't need to expose are reality in every movie we produce, we don't need to make serious ideological and subersive films all the time. "Y tu mama tambien" is a movie about friendship, about two kids growing up in a country were power and politics means everything, were your life and future depend on your economic position in society, were proving your gendre is almost your number one achievement in life... at the end, that's not just Mexico, or is it? It's a movie you have to see with you mind open and the disposition of having a great laugh, not to criticise the director or the phenomenon of mexican cinematography. At the end, there is one important thing you have to rescue: la neta es chida pero inalcansable.
De tripas, corazón (1996)
It explains all you need to know about growing up...
DE TRIPAS CORAZON is one of the best short films that have been produced in the past 10 years in Mexico. It explains all you need to know about growing up in a small town, the step from childhood to adolescence, what you need to do to prove you are a real man! Gael Garcia is discovered as a young and bright talent, maybe one of the best actors in Mexico, a star that is going to shine. It is a tender love story!
