Rudo y Cursi (2008)
9/10
Rudo y Cursi is a masterwork of modern Mexican cinema
20 December 2008
Rudo y Cursi it's a great movie that reunites the Charolastras Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna in a modern comedy that deals with many world and Mexican themes such as: Machism, Narcotrafic, Brotherhood and Gambling. While the movie has some downsides, its almost perfect script, photography, directing, and the good chemistry between García Bernal and Luna makes it really enjoyable and funny.

The film is directed by Alfonso cuarón's brother and writer of "Y tu mamá También", Carlos Cuarón who makes a great job with the movie, taking us to a wide range of emotions while keeping an above all upbeat feeling to it. Another thing that stands out from this movie is its soundtrack which combines in a double CD both Mexican Folklore Music and a modernized counterpart of some traditional songs by modern Mexican bands.

This Movie is the first film produced by Cha Cha Cha Films, an enterprise formed by the Mexican Directors Guillermo del Toro, Alejandro González Iñarritu and Alfonso Cuarón, enterprise that will without a doubt keep growing Mexican cinema.

If you liked "Y tu mamá también" (2001) you will definitely be pleased by Rudo y Cursi.
