Director: Alfonso Cuaron

Description:
Before Alfonso Cuaron helmed the international sensation 'Y tu mama tambien', he made his mark on Mexican cinema with the ribald and lightning-quick contemporary social satire Solo con tu pareja. Don Juanûish yuppie Tomas Tomas (Daniel Gimenez Cacho, from Bad Education) spends his nights juggling so many beautiful women that he can't keep their names straight -- until one of his many conquests, a spurned nurse, gives him a taste of his own medicine. Beautifully filmed in widescreen by the inimitable Emmanuel Lubezki (The New World), Cuaron's wildly successful feature debut (which has never been released in the U.S.) gave voice to a Mexican middle-class that had remained largely unseen onscreen, and surveys contemporary urban sexual mores with style to spare.
