“Y Tu Mama Tambien,” 25 January 2003 (2001), DVD. This made lots of “best of” lists in 2002, and I think it’s a tad overrated. Still, both Bronwen and I liked this road/buddy/older woman look at youth, sex, politics, and (this is Mexico, after all) death. A pair of stoner high-schoolers, one rich, the other a scholarship baby (r is it the absent daddy’s money?) are the young one’s who, when their girlfriends go on vacation to Italy, go on a road trip with an older (late 20s? early 30s?) woman who shakes them out of their petty jealousies. She’s living in the present for good reasons. Explicit soft-core simulated pornographic sex but very interesting and made much more meaningful via the narrations. The dialogue speaks to class differences that are played here in a supple way. This is the Americanized/Europeanized/cosmopolitan Mexican upper middle class, although it’s not always clear how and why they are in the mix. Very interesting. The ‘older’ woman is a pleasure to see and the film is fun, interesting, and enjoyable to watch. Do younger people (boys, girls, younger men and women) really talk so directly about sex these days?. Jealousy?. Love?. See it for yourself and decide!. Generoso is way too harsh on this one!
