Back To Index Y Tu Mamá También
 Barnes & Noble Adolescent libidos fuel an unusual ménage à trois in Y Tu Mamá También, an erotic and sophisticated comedy-drama from Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón. The story is simple -- two privileged, sex-obsessed teens (Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna) take an older woman (Maribel Verdú) on an outing to a beach -- and plays out on one level like a teen-male fantasy. But theres more here than meets the eye, as the films buoyant tone is repeatedly mitigated by an omniscient narrator. In the style of Jean-Luc Godard, this commentary uncovers hidden motivations and places the characters and events in a broader and often unsetting context. Meanwhile, the story unfolds as a road trip of sexual initiation, including some powerful personal revelations and homoerotic tensions that threaten to destroy the boys friendship. The actors succeed with some truly challenging material here, handling graphic dialogue and physical intimacy with a grace that is at once sexy and vulnerable. Make no mistake: Y Tu Mamá También candidly explores its subject with a healthy and stimulating sense of humor and fantasy. But theres a dangerous undertow as well, resulting in a truly striking film of uncommon power. Gregory Baird Interested in the song lyrics? - Check out themostlyrics.com!
