La pelicula es muy bueno

Y Tu Mamá También - NR\nStarring: Maribel Verdú, Gael García Bernal\nDirected by: Alfonso Cuarón\nShowing: Showplace East 11\nThis Mexican gem, which in English translates to "And Your Mother Too," is an all-too realistic account of the sexual goings-on of two immensely different friends.\n"Y Tu Mamá También" concerns two Mexican teenagers by the names of Tenoch (Diego Luna) and Julio (Gael García Bernal), one from a rich family rife with political influence, the other the child of a lower-middle class single mother. Both are preoccupied with sex in wake of their girlfriends, Ana and Cecilia, departing for a summer vacation in Italy.\nSummer begins inauspiciously for these foppish lads. The two spend their days smoking copious amounts of weed and masturbating atop diving boards at a closed-off country club's swimming pool. That is until they meet Luisa (Maribel Verdú), the wife of Tenoch's cousin, at another relative's wedding. The two lure this mysterious older woman into a pilgrimage of sorts -- their destination: a fictitious beach the two have dubbed "Heaven's Mouth." Their intent: nothing short of getting laid. \nDue to her diminishing state of marital bliss, Luisa reluctantly accepts the boys' offer and proceeds to hit the road. What follows is a road movie in lieu of cult literary classics "The Catcher and the Rye" and "On the Road" mingled with soft-core porn. The result: a brilliant coming of age film albeit a slightly smutty one.\n"Y Tu Mamá También" is the work of immensely talented Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón and his brother, co-screenwriter Carlos. Those who accuse Cuarón's latest work of being nothing more than a Mexican knock-off of teen sex romps in the vein of "American Pie" apparently didn't see the same film I did. Beneath this tale of raging hormones and overzealous sexual inadequacy lies an inner sadness. Cuarón uses the time tested coming of age narrative to discuss the fragility of life and the conclusiveness of death, as well as various sociological issues plaguing Mexico.\n"Y Tu Mamá También" is a far cry from Cuarón's earlier and far more sanitized American works "A Little Princess" and "Great Expectations." However, the promise shown in those films is finally realized with his latest work. "Y Tu Mamá También" is a stunning piece of work; bold and vivacious in ways few films have the guts to be.\n
