Here are some great comments from last week's thread:

Y Tu Mamá También (2001) - Once you get over the initial shock at how raunchy it is, this film has a lot to say about the bubble that upper-middle-class and wealthy young people inhabit, and how fragile that bubble is. The film follows two wealthy teenage boys, played by Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal, and a sexy roadtrip they take with an older woman, played by Maribel Verdu. It's directed by Alfonso Cuaron, and having recently re-watched Children of Men, it's fun to watch him deploy similar camera techniques - handheld long takes that often conclude by meandering away from the main characters - in a very different type of movie. Another technique he employs is to show working-class characters working in the background while the main characters are talking in the foreground, to heighten the sense of how insulated the two boys are. The three leads have some of the tightest, most natural chemistry I think I've ever seen onscreen. Major credit goes to the Cuaron brothers for crafting the Luna and Garcia's characters as spoiled, insecure, lovable, complicated people. It's very hard to make characters like that as likable and full-fledged as they are, but somehow the movie succeeds in doing that.

Only Lovers Left Alive, by Jim Jarmusch. I had added this film to my Netflix list, mainly because of the cast. However, I was a bit hesitant about seeing it, as it deals with vampires and I'm not really into them. But man, I was in for a treat! It quickly grabbed me, thanks to its magnificent soundtrack, and the atmosphere it managed to create along with Adam and Eve. It's not for everyone, as it doesn't really have a plot, but it was just so great to see this couple go through the nights and just live. I felt really immersed, and I just wanted to be there, experiencing the world with them. I loved every second of it. It's one of those films I see myself coming back to over and over. Definitely goes to my all-time favorites list.

Mustang by Deniz Gamze Ergüven. What an incredible display of filmmaking in every single way. This film is about a group of 5 orphaned Turkish sisters as they struggle to live a normal life after their conservative uncle pulls them out of school for playing with boys at the beach. It's a beautiful, funny and heartwarming story about sisterhood when it needs to be, just like it's a brutal, raw depiction of female oppression when it needs to be. I think this is a film that a lot of people need to watch, it really highlights the importance of feminism in the modern world and not this boogeyman version of it that you sadly see around the internet; use it as an education tool if you will. It also subdues this other internet boogeyman by having amazing performance by a group of young kids, but it's the youngest one (Günes Sensoy) who takes the cake. I'm not one to hand out 10/10s, but this was deservedly a 10/10.
