At the Ottoman Bank Museum
A Film Reading with Sevin Okyay For those of you enjoy delving deeper into a film to discover it in detail, the Museum is offering film readings to complement its film program this season. On Thursday, April 7, at 7:30 p.m., film writer and critic Sevin Okyay will be joining us for a reading of "Y Tu Mamá También" from world-renowned director Alfonso Cuarón. "Y Tu Mamá También" will be screened on April 8 and 9 at the Museum's movie theater. After a synopsis of the film, Okyay will comment on some of its key scenes. The reading will be free of charge and conducted in interaction with the audience. Film readings will be held twice a month on Thursdays at the Ottoman Bank Movie Theater.
About the Film Y Tu Mamá También Alfonso Cuarón 2001 (101 min.) Screening dates: Friday, April 8, 7:30 p.m. - Saturday, April 9, 6:30 p.m. Critically acclaimed for his skilled merging of old-school Hollywood elegance with the dark and acerbic narrative style of new generation indie films, this is Alfonso Cuarón's first totally independent feature. After such mainstream high-budget Hollywood productions as "Great Expectations" and "A little Princess," Cuarón astonished cinema circles by returning to Mexico City to produce this low-budget Spanish-language film. Two teenage boys set off on a wild trip to a far away coast with a seductive "older" woman. Balancing sharp humor and insightful realism, Alfonso Cuarón's coming-of-age story, about life, sex, friendship, class conflict and death, is one the best indie films of recent years. |
