Rowdy Mexican youths Julio (Gael García Bernal from Amores Perros) and Tenoch (Diego Luna) set off in a car to find a beach with older woman Luisa (Maribel Verdú). At first the young men are more interested in drinking and seducing their passenger, but it's a journey that holds much in store for their friendship and their outlook on life. Alfonso Cuaron's road movie Y Tu Mama Tambien manages to be wise, funny and very sexy.
I bought the vid to help with learning Spanish. I love movies and have been seeking out films en espanol, as I was finding it hard to learn with course materials... I love it - its filmed beautifully with a tense undercurrent. The narration is humourous, as the relationship between teenage travellers is tested to the max.
I first watched this movie in Spanish without subtitles and I am very glad I revisited it as I liked it even more with subtitles. Yes it is an erotic movie-very sexy! Look closely as a scion of the Mexican political elite, his loser amigo and a very sexy older woman travel to the Pacific coast to find the magical beach of beaches. As they travel in reasonable comfort, having their adventures, you see many incidents in the background that illustrate the hard lives of ordinary Mexicans. The narrator device adds to this image of effete privilege moving through a land of hard wokk and suffering in a bubble of comfort. A GEM of a movie with a not bad soundtrack-watch it.
A real journey between two friends and the woman who makes them see life in a different way... Highly recommended
What an amazing film, it was made in such a creative way that the language barrier caused no problems, and it certainly did not seem that the viewer was constantly looking out for the subtitles. It has an enchanting and philosophical story line, which is repeated throughout the film, many lessons can be learnt from this film.
