Episode 392: Y TU MAMÁ TAMBIÉN (2001) with Lauren Haun

Alfonso Cuarón’s breakout road comedy sex dramedy thing Y TU MAMÁ TAMBIÉN is a rich text that can be read on many levels. We can only get to some of those without help, so we’re joined by first-time Trylove guest Lauren Haun, who’s spent the better part of this century thinking about this movie!

In Mexico during a time of great social and political change, divorcee-to-be Luisa joins Tenoch and Julio for a road trip to an idyllic beach the ribald teens made up literally the day before. Accompanied by an omniscient narrator, the trio vibe (and bang) their way across the desert, but they’re not really ready for what they learn about each other… or themselves.
