Alfonso Cuarón
Published: January 15, 2008
"Y
Tu
Mama Tambien" (And Your Mother Too) is, in the surface, a really funny story about 2
friends
-almost-brothers, Tenoch Iturbide (an outstanding Diego Luna) and Julio (a really incredible performance for the recent Ariel, the Mexican Academy Award, winner Gael Garcia Bernal, in another excellent portray of a
young
guy
with "issues"), that plan a trip to an imaginary beach, "Boca del Cielo" (Heaven\''abs Mouth) in order to flirt with a Spanish girl, married with Tenoch''s cousin, and portrayed by a credible Maribel Verdu.
But this is only the "surface" of this road
movie
. In fact, we are dealing with dreams and realities, with social problems and political ones. Tenoch is a young guy
living
with a millionaire family, son of a wealthy businessman with friends in the highest "stairs" of Mexican politics, with a second name such as Iturbide (one of the most important and powerful leaders of Mexican politic
history
). And, in contrast, Julio is a middle-low-class guy, living with his mother, brothers and sisters, in a small department, with a last name such as Zapata (a revolutionary leader in Mexican history, with native origins, that took part in the Revolution at the beginning of 20th Century). This is a clever and sharp critic of the different models of living of these 2 friends, and in fact, of all Mexican citizens (I know it, because I''m Mexican, too)
