This comedy/drama is also in a way a sort of a parody of contemporary Mexico’s “narco-society” perceptions of life and values. Seeing the two stars together again brings me back to Y Tu Mamá Tambien, the film that put these two on the map and interestingly enough was written by Carlos Cuaron and actually directed by his brother Alfonso.   This is Carlos’ first feature film, and what a start with an all star line up: Top notch actors Gael and Diego, and also Guillermo del Toro, Alejandro Gonzalez Innaritu and Alfonso Cuaron (his brother) as producers.  So if you haven’t seen it already, go out and watch it!!! Support International/ Latin American/Mexican Cinema and let us know what you think.

QUICK FACT: The song Gael Garcia Bernal is singing in the film “Quiero que me Quieras” is actually a song by Cheap Trick called “I want you to want me”.  Check it out right here!  The soundtrack was just released on i-tunes through Nacional Records. 


 

OH and HERE’s THE TRAILER
