Product Description

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 Juan-ish yuppie Tomas Tomas (Bad Education's Daniel Gimenez Cacho) 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solo Con Tu Pareja, July 17 2007

By John Farr - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Solo con Tu Pareja (Criterion Collection) (DVD)

In his madcap debut film, the Mexican director of "Y Tu Mama Tambien" somehow fuses a bawdy farce in the grand Hollywood tradition with a modern commentary on HIV and mortality--and makes it work. What begins as a room-to-room sex romp--with Tomás clambering along catwalks between his apartment and that of his friend Mateo (Luis de Icaza), who's helping out in the seduction game--soon takes a sobering turn as the bird-dogging bachelor finds himself wrapped in the arms of both love and death. Assured and lively, fluidly paced and buoyantly acted, "Solo con tu pareja" is a slapstick comedy with a zesty Latin heart.

3.0 out of 5 stars a dark romantic comedy about AIDS, Oct 22 2006

By Ted "Ted" - Published on Amazon.com

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Solo con Tu Pareja (Criterion Collection) (DVD)

Sólo con tu pareja which means "only with your partner" is about a womanizing young man named Tomás whose promiscuity gets him into trouble.

When he has an encounter with a nurse after a visit to a his doctor, she intentionaly gives him a false diagnosis of AIDS. Despondant as a result of falsely believing he has AIDS he attempts suicide and is walked in on by a friend whose husband is cheating on her. Meanwhile Tomás's doctor learns of the Nurse's prank and Tomás's death wish and franctically tries to find him before he kills himself.

The film is directed by Alfonso Cuarón who went on to make the worldwide hit Y tu mamá también or "And Your Mother Too"

The DVD has some special features includinga theatrical trailer and a documentary of the film's production an interview with Alfonso Cuarón and his brother Carlos, and actor Daniel Giménez Cacho.

Also included are 2 short films one by each of the Cuarón brothers. "Cuarteto para el fin del tiempo" by Alfonso is about a man who lives alone in an apartment and counters boredom with unusual activities. The other film "Noche de bodas" by Carlos is about a hotel porter and maid who have intimate relations in a hotel room and are walked in on by customers on their honeymoon.

This film has some funny scenes but may offend some people due to the macabre humor and sex scenes.

Excelent re-Issue of one classic of the New Mexican Cinema. I was a big fan of these movie and the careful re-issue of it did not desapoint me.

Great quality in the transfer and excelletn extras.
