Cinémathèque Film Club

What’s almost as good – ­and sometimes better – than watching a film? Talking about it, of course. Cinémathèque Film Club screens a print from our archives chosen by a special guest, who will discuss their pick with the audience after the screening.

► Best Screenplay & Best Young Actor (García Bernal), Venice 2001

The lives of Julio and Tenoch are ruled by raging hormones, intense friendships, and a headlong rush into adulthood. Over the course of a summer, the two best friends find connection with each other, themselves and the world around them…

« There are plenty of boys-to-men films about the raunchy adventures of pleasure-seeking teenagers, but Cuarón's inspired and exhilarating road movie taps so directly into their teeming energy that it all but levitates off the screen. » (The A.V. Club)

► Film followed by a conversation with Film Club guest Anselm Havu and the audience | in English | about 45’

Anselm Havu is a Finnish Luxembourgish cinematographer based in Luxembourg.

A road movie, comedy, coming-of-age tale, a structured essay and drama all in one – Y tu mamá también is an undeniably touching film, marked by directorial fluidity and a raw, honest simplicity. It expanded my younger self’s understanding of cinema’s emotional and stylistic range, and showed me how far ahead some filmmakers truly are.
