Join us as we explore the creative partnership between three-time OscarⓇ-winning cinematographer Emmanuel “Chivo” Lubezki and four-time OscarⓇ-winning writer-director Alfonso Cuarón, whose body of work spans comedy (Sólo con tu pareja, 1991), dazzling literary adaptations (A Little Princess, 1995 and Great Expectations, 1998), unforgettable visions of outer space (Gravity, 2013), and dystopian drama (Children of Men, 2006). The conversation, held in Spanish with English subtitles, accompanies a virtual screening of the film that brought the duo back to their native Mexico: Y tu mamá también (2001). The film centers on two lustful Mexico City teenagers (Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal) hoping to impress married Spaniard Luisa (Maribel Verdú).

This film is Rated R. Viewer discretion is advised.
