“Y tu mamá también is, let's say I'm obsessed with this film. I watched this film over and over and over. The first time I watched it, it just kind of washed over me and I knew there was tremendous depth there and I needed to watch it again to really unpack it. But the story, again, a love triangle at its heart, I just find so exquisite. There's moments that I feel like are like these marvels, these little worlds that I want to dwell in. There's a scene when one of the characters is swimming in a swimming pool that's like scattered with leaves, and there's a shot up, you know, the light kind of pulsating through, and there's so much communicated. And the writing, was gorgeous. When we were making Fire of Love, this was a film that we really studied, to try to learn the narration as much as possible. Our narration was very different, but we loved how it would prompt and, and call attention to details, that, the camera wasn't focusing on. It was off to the margins in a way that taught so much about kind of an ecological view of this, socio-political world that was spiraling around these hyper-immature main characters. I could go on and on and on, but love, love Y tu mamá también.”
