Y tu mamá también (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]

Description

This smash road comedy from Oscar-winning director Alfonso Cuarón is that rare movie to combine raunchy subject matter and emotional warmth. Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna shot to international stardom as a pair of horny Mexico City teenagers from different classes who, after their girlfriends jet off to Italy for the summer, are bewitched by a gorgeous older Spanish woman (Maribel Verdú) they meet at a wedding. When she agrees to accompany them on a trip to a faraway beach, the three form an increasingly intense and sensual alliance that ultimately strips them both physically and emotionally bare. Shot with elegance and dexterity by the great Emmanuel Lubezki, Y tu mamá también is a funny and moving look at human desire.DIRECTOR-APPROVED BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew, restored 2K digital film transfer, supervised by director of photography Emmanuel Lubezki and approved by director Alfonso Cuarón, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrackTwo new pieces on the making of the film, featuring interviews, recorded at the time of production and in 2014, with actors Gael García Bernal, Diego Luna, and Maribel Verdú; Alfonso Cuarón; cowriter Carlos Cuarón; and LubezkiNew interview with philosopher Slavoj Žižek about the film’s social and political aspectsOn-set documentary from 2001Deleted scenesYou Owe Me One (2002), a short film by Carlos CuarónTrailersNew English subtitle translationPLUS: An essay by critic Charles Taylor and reprinted character biographies by Carlos Cuarón and Alfonso Cuarón
