I love how in the last couple of Criterion Closet videos they actually show everything the people say, and don't cut out a bunch of their commentary, and film picks.
It's strange actually.... I associate him so strongly with that film, and love his character so much I got weirdly emotional when this started seeing him all grown up!

I like what he said (in reference to Blow Up) about how people had more time to get involved in unexpected situations prior to the age of the cell phone and social media. So true. An actor whose work I have consistently enjoyed, a great selection of films and oral history, thank you!
@@tonym6566 Why does everyone always say such-and-such movie would be “canceled nowadays”? When “Y tu mamá también” was initially released in the US, it went unrated in order to avoid being essentially “canceled” with an NC-17 rating. Roger Ebert criticized the puritanical nature of the ratings system at the time that forced the director to retreat to Mexico. If the movie came out today, you’d have a bunch of people whining that it was “woke” because it featured POC actors and accusing it of “grooming” because it had two straight guys becoming gay for each other.
I was an extra on Rosewater and I wanted to ask GGB what genre Y Tu Mama Tambien it was and he said "whatever you want it to be". Super cool dude. Went and saw Mala Educacion the next day

I just watched Y Tu Mama Tabien for the first time an hour ago and it blew me away, I gave it a 9 then went back and gave it a 10. At first glance it looks like a sex comedy, but instead turns out to this profound examination on life, sex and friendships I have ever seen. A Masterpiece.
I’m glad he mentioned the erotic thing. There needs to be more sexy films again. Such a huge part of cinema has been lost when they stopped making them. Thanks to a few that are still doing it , crimes of the future, piaf, and a few french ones but the rest need get back on board.
Problem is polling data shows the younger generations, despite being a very thirsty bunch, don't want sexy films. They look at sex with suspicion & reflexive fear of abusive productions. It'll probably be another 15 years before someone makes the "breakthrough" erotic film that then starts a wave of rip-offs and imitations that produces yet another generational anti-sexy movement.
Yes, absolutely. Of course there's always some examples we can point to, but generally the real artistic efforts which are dangerously shaking status quo, challenging audiences with ambiguity, uncomfortable situations & gritty aesthetic are fewer & fewer.
As a film student, the last thing I want to choreograph and direct is a sex scene. Unless it's something like Boogie Nights, where sex is crucial to the story being told, sex scenes are unnecessary, exploitative, and gross from a production standpoint.

Amores Perros!😍I just knew he was about to pick that. Still one of my all-time favourite films and the only film i have ever watched first at night and then woken up the next morning and had to rewatch again. Just astonishing. And Gael... always so charming🥰

Gael is NOW looking like a professor of films. Like his accent come out on films he adores. Blowout, was a great film to watch back then with such character depth.
Yup, I'd be in for that! Also, when the heck're they gonna release The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and her Lover?? That film deserves the CC treatment more than any other film I can think of!
I remember him since his first and only telenovela we were children back then and grew up with his movies. It's nostalgic now we have grey hair. I'm very proud of Gael for moving up to movies I known I will be watching him win an Oscar sooner or later for sure.

Can't believe the Criterion team handed him just the French Buñuel collection! He deserves the Exterminating Angel too and a whole new Spanish language Buñuel boxset
I'm with you on the original film title. If the language of origin title sounds better, stick with it. "And Your Mother Too!" doesn't roll off the tongue as well.
I am really hoping to see a nice Buñuel box set in the near future and that it'll contain his more obscure films like The Land Without Bread, El, The Criminal Life of Archibaldo del la Cruz, Mexican Bus Ride, to name just a few. I recently bought the Fellini box set and was blown away by the wealth of bonus material. Buñuel deserves the same treatment.
I remember watching him in "The King". That film is largely forgotten today. It's a shame. It's such a hypnotic and chilling film. What a wonderful guy!

I respect Gael Garcia so much more now as an actor and a film lover. How he spoke in reverence of the film directors (including the movies he starred in) speaks volumes of how much he knows about great cinema. Also I'm super surprised he mentioned "Discreet Charm of the Burgeoisie" it's definitely a film to watch to understand society and class given unique dystopian experiences.
Thank you Gael, incredible honour to realise that my films’ collection is embracing your choices! You are an amazing actor and I am so glad that you have mentioned how films used to make you horny and alive with emotion and anticipation. It would be nice to experience all of it again even for the old times sake. Cinema became pristine and dull in a nice way.

Thank you, Gael; I looked at Memories of Underdevelopment after this video and promptly put it on my wish-list; the fate of South- and Central-America interests me greatly!
Love Bunuel and Antonioni`s Blow up, still believe Amores Perros and Y Tu Mama Tambien are the best films Bernal has made, though he has a fine body of work, especially in collaboration with Pablo Larrain. Wonderful actor, great choices.

Amores perros è molto bello 👍 ma Y tu mama también è il film più incredibile di tutti quelli che ho visto perché, dopo il dialogo finale, tutto quello che abbiamo visto prima cambia significato ❤
Hay una serie de artistas que han dado a todo latino la fama de ser seductores, de derrochar pasión y de dotar a todo acento de un romanticismo casi mítico. Aquí en España fue Antonio Banderas. Pero latinoamericana tiene el talento de engendrar nuevas generaciones de esos hombres, entre ellos Gael. Sólo con verle y escucharle hablar entiendes ese magnetismo.
