Y Tu Mama Tambien Alfonso Cuaron This funny, highly sexual road film was a great critical and popular success. Alfonso Cuaron fully indulges the bawdy, youthful humor and frank sex scenes while subtly commenting on modern Mexico's economic and social barriers. Gael Garcia Bernal (Amores Perros) and Diego Luna (Before Night Falls) play two sex-obsessed teenagers who convince the beautiful wife (Maribel Verdu of Goya in Bordeaux) of Luna's cousin to join them on a getaway to the beach. The older, heartbroken woman teaches the boys about emotional and physical honesty as they pass through a rather desolate roadside world. "...raunchy, smart, ebullient, melancholy, insightful, surprising, funny, frank and sexy as all get-out" (Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune). Original unrated theatrical version. In Spanish with English subtitles. Mexico, 2001, 105 mins. DVD $37.95   More Mexican videotapes and DVDs...   Amelie Jean-Pierre Jeunet Jean-Pierre Jeunet creates a world of color, movement, romance and whimsy in a film that became a sensation in France and charmed audiences around the world. Audrey Tautou is delightful as a spirited waitress determined to help those around her find love and happiness, although her own romantic adventure proves to be a challenging one. Light as a feather, Amelie presents an idealized Paris that was shot on location, but which, through visual effects and eye-catching art direction, has the fantasized look of a Hollywood soundstage. Actor-director Mathieu Kassovitz co-stars as Amelie's love interest. A Cesar Award-winner for Best Film, Director, Music and Production Design. Letterboxed, 16x9 widescreen, closed-captioned; the 2-disc set includes several behind-the-scenes segments, interviews with director and cast, audition footage, trailers and TV spots, storyboard comparisons, music video, and much more. DVD in French with English subtitles; France/Germany, 2001, 122 mins. DVD $37.95   More French videotapes and DVDs...
