"Life is like the surf, so give yourself away like the sea." -Luisa

There's many adjectives that describe "Y Tu Mama Tambien"... funny, tragic, strange, sexy, fresh, youthful but none of these describe the film better than the word "beautiful". Alfonso Cuarón directs the film with very skillfully and I'm not surprised that the screenplay was Oscar-nominated. The movie is emotionally driven, a story that's centred around life and it's unexpectedness. The three central characters are just so interesting. As the film progresses, you get to know these people and you care about them. The audience follows Julio and Tenoch's conflicts of jealousy and opposing classes, a friendship that is both comedic and tragic. Then there's Luisa, the beautiful Spaniard that steals the boys' affections. I was fighting back the tears when her surprising heartbreaking story was revealed... a twist ending which you won't see coming, but on repeat viewing the signs are unavoidable. It really is a work of genius that one could watch over and over, and still take something from it. A study of friendship and romance, "Y Tu Mama Tambien" is undoubtedly my favourite foreign language film of all time.
