Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón had
made several films prior to Y Tu Mama Tambien, but this is arguably the movie which ensured he was noticed as a brilliant cinema auteur.
Two Mexican teenagers and a bored older woman abscond in
search of an idyllic beach.
A truly great road movie with a message about friendship
and mortality. Fast, funny, frank about sexuality and ultimately devastating.
Classic foreign cinema.
8/10
