Sex; it’s sticky, it’s embarrassing and – even in these enlightened days of liberalism and pornography at the click of a button – it’s treated like some sort of shameful taboo by a large chunk of society. There are people out there who think sex is dirty and nasty and inherently bad. You know the type of people I mean; bible-belt housewives, religious zealots and angry old men who are so sexually deprived that they simply hate the idea…
Film Number 17 on PinHeadLarry145's 30 Days 30 Countries Film Challenge!
Mexico, 2002.
I think this may be tied with Love Exposure as the best film I've seen so far in this challenge. I'm sure there are other films out there that are better deserving of this much praise, but Y Tu Mamá También is one of those films that has a primal and emotional connection with me. Not that I can relate to having an erotic road trip with a Spanish woman, but I CAN relate to the reckless, immature and highly sexualized void of youth that Alfonso Cuarón so effortlessly captures.
And I think that Y Tu Mamá También is also tied with Love Exposure for being the…
90/100
Alfonso Cuarón has always delved into stories of the present, using their immediacy and their unconquerable energy in order to speak volumes about the long gone or the far out of reach. Y Tu Mamá También, much like the salty ocean beaches that our main characters transverse, is a sublimely warm and nostalgic experience. In a way, watching it is the equivalent of sitting on a sandy shore on a Sunday afternoon. Everything is ahead of you, washing through the waves and crashing in rhythm, but your energy is focused on the present, and your emotions are lost within the scattered memories of the past.
Y Tu Mama Tambien drains me physically and emotionally as well as our love triangle. Love and friendship are put to the test. Live your life the way you want to, because in the end you want to look back on your life and experiences and know that you felt and experienced all that you could. Comfortably casual with itself nothing feels out of place, events unfold so naturally I swear I was there. A seductively alluring piece of early 2000’s cinema by Cuaron and Lubezki. Lubezki’s work here feels so restrained, like Deakins. His films continually get more dazzling, but I love when the main focus is to accompany the story as evident in Y Tu Mama Tambien. A…
Gays In Diners is my new favorite trope .... this film ... thelma & louise (1991) .. moonlight (2016) ... the list goes on probably
i don't exactly know why, but i loved this movie so much... it's unforgettable.
My favorite film of the 00's. More so than Mulholland Drive, Zodiac or Cuaron's own Children of Men. Just a perfect masterpiece that touches on so many things, but, to name a few, it's about matured and burgeoning sexuality, dealing with mortality and your own transience, living in the moment, growing up, growing apart, Mexico, love, and, perhaps most importantly, the many facets life can take, from the personal to the political to the sexual. The fact that I'm still deciphering what it all means is simply a testament to how good this film is.
Also, did I mention that it's so damn hot? Like the sex scenes in this completely put English-language cinema to shame (with the exception of maybe David Cronenberg movies). Hollywood take note. More sex pleeeeease.
Truly loved this film. So enjoyable!!! I think those are great films the ones that can make your forget everything and feel part of this film. Truly love it really happy I own a copy of it.
everything is temporary, everyone leads a complex life, and boys STAY annoying
