Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great Film Comment: This is a great film. I'm kind of new to foreign language film but really enjoyed this. I think every teenager needs to watch this. Customer Rating: Summary: Sexy, Funny & Intelligent Comment: Y Tu Mama Tambien is without doubt one of my favourite films, at the very least my favourite foreign film. The movie is based around two teenage Mexicans (Diego Luna as Tenoch & Gael Garcia Bernal as Julio.) The story is put into motion when the boys make up a beach the attractive wife of Tenoch's cousin, Luisa, when Luisa's husband has an affair she opts to travel to the beach with the two boys. Throughout the film there is a narrative that gives depth & insight into the lives of these three beings that could not be achieved purely through their acting (even though they are all amazing.) Julio & Tenoch are normal horny middle class teenagers with penchants for soft drugs & sex. The most touching aspect of the movie is the relationship between the two leads, the viwer watches them at their peak of friendship & at breaking point & eventually when they go their seperate ways to never speak again. The movie is simple but so effective although at the end there is a shock (not major though.) I'd advise anyone to see this film, there is a great deal of nudity & explicit sex scenes but because it is such an itelligent movie the fact that the nudity is used to be sexy as opposed to highlight vulnerablility doesn't take from the film, it also manages to be funny. I personally think funny, sexy & intelligent is a great combination, the kind of combination I'd like my future husband to be! Customer Rating: Summary: And Your Mother Too Comment: A very good mexican teen road movie whereby two best friends get the oppertunity to take an older married woman with them to 'heaven's mouth'. The most ingenious touch is the anonymous 3rd person narrative, whose entrance is continually signalled by the films loss of sound. The theme of sex is to the fore from the word go and perhaps becomes a little too much. However neither this, nor the rather sudden twist at the end of the film can prevent it from succeeding splendidly! Customer Rating: Summary: great film!! Comment: i'm going through a foreign film phase atm and really wanted to see this, so when my eye fell on it in the library i had to rent it. One word - beautiful. This film appears to be an underlooked and underestimated gem and i urge everybody to see it, it is a rare glimpse into both teenage and adult minds and is a really brillianty told and developed film. Customer Rating: Summary: Incredible... Comment: This film actually blew me away. I didn't expect it to be at all like it was. This film may come off at first sight as slightly pornographic, but actually the sex serves the purpose of highlighting the boys' inexperience and youth. I would thoroughly reccomend this film to anyone who can handle the sex, as it is a moving and thought provoking film. More Reviews
