This screening features 'Y tu mamá también,' a celebrated road movie by Oscar-winning director Alfonso Cuarón. The film follows two teenagers from Mexico City who embark on a journey with an older Spanish woman, leading them to discover a mythical beach and confront deeper realities about life and democracy.
Screened in its original 35mm format from the Eye collection, 'Y tu mamá también' is a critically acclaimed film by Alfonso Cuarón, which brought international fame to actors Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna. The narrative centers on Tenoch and Julio, two teenagers from contrasting backgrounds in Mexico City, who spend their days exploring casual relationships and seeking new experiences. Their lives take an unexpected turn when they encounter an older Spanish woman at a wedding and agree to drive her to a remote beach, Boca del Cielo. What begins as a summer fling for the trio evolves into a profound exploration of a society on the brink, with Cuarón subtly portraying a crumbling democracy and a sense of life's finality beneath the surface of the adventure. Elegantly shot by Emmanuel Lubezki, the film is lauded for being funny, moving, and disarming, showcasing a masterful blend of coming-of-age narrative with social commentary.
