LOS ANGELES– Y TU MAMÁ TAMBIÉN (2001)

LOS ANGELES– Screening of 35mm Academy print. 106 minutes. Panelists to be announced. Directed by Alfonso Cuarón. Produced by Jorge Vergara, Alfonso Cuarón. Screenplay by Carlos Cuarón, Alfonso Cuarón. Cast: Maribel Verdú, Gael García Bernal, Diego Luna, Maria Aura, Diana Bracho, Emilio Echevarría, Verónica Langer. Alfonso Cuarón received his first Academy Award nomination (for Original Screenplay) for Y Tu Mamá También, which follows Julio Zapata (Gael García Bernal) and Tenoch Iturbide (Diego Luna), two hormone and drug-addled teens as they embark on a life-changing road trip with 28-year-old Luisa Cortes (Maribel Verdú). Tenoch and Julio, who come from Mexico City’s upper and middle class, are polar opposites to the oppressed, long-suffering protagonists typical to many earlier Mexican movies. Through these characters and their energetic, honest portrayal, Cuarón tapped into a new cinematic moment reflective of the new political order and nationalism in Mexico.
