Watched Y Tu Mama Tambene a few nights ago in Berlin. A very explicit but awesome film.

It was a Futurama movie, Bender's Big Score. Overall it was dumb, and to make matters worse the writers exploited some of my favourite emotional moments from the old series for cheap laughs, but true to form they also wrote some new, equally touching scenes and delivered some good chuckles here and there.

Really?  Even without it basically being soft-core porn I didn't find much worth watching in that flick.  And that was when I was pagan.

If you like Cuaron, watch Children of Men.

I found it via Children of Men, actually. Someone recommended that if I wanted to see another example of that sort of the cinematography, check out Y Tu Mama Tambene. The constant contrasts between the storyline and the political/cultural backdrop of Mexico were cool.

I also thought it was a good study of the futile repetitiveness of human fallenness. Perhaps I looked at it with a different perspective than you did. I was watching the film with a girl who kept saying, 'what!? As if he'd do that! He has a girlfriend in Italy!' and I kept thinking, 'um, wake up, people are sh**.' 

EDIT: btw, Children of Men is one of my favourite films. I could watch the single-shot refugee camp scene over and over again for days.

"And so, Lord, do you, who do give understanding to faith, give me, so far as you knowest it to be profitable, to understand that you are as we believe; and that you are that which we believe." -- St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109)

"But Christianity preaches an obviously unattractive idea, such as original sin; but when we wait for its results, they are pathos and brotherhood, and a thunder of laughter and pity; for only with original sin we can at once pity the beggar and distrust the king." -- G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936)

"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."  Baudelaire and Verbal Kint from The Usual Suspects

Rask, considering what you said about that single shot refugee camp scene, you have to see PVC-1.  And I won't tell you why, and don't google it cuz you'll find out why (I would assume, at least).  Just watch it.  Soon.  Let me know what you thought.
