    About Y tu mamá también I can say that, even if the movie is framed by some (superficially rather common) storyline the surroundings do portrait a very realistic and honest image of the rural México. I tried to convince your brother to watch it but he's too puritan.

    I haven't watched most of the movies you mention. Will try to find them, thanks for the recommendations!

      I liked the way they presented the locals in the film, in a subtle but seemingly truthful manner. About Andras, I am not surprised... :) Do you know any other movies portraying Mexico?
