- 'Y Tu Mamá También' The early 2000s brought us several great Mexican movies. This one in particular has to be included in any list because of how iconic it is.
- 'Amores Perros' Amores Perros (2000) is also from the 2000s and its protagonist, Gael García Bernal, is from our previously mentioned film as well. Directed by Alejandro González Iñarritu, the film tells three different stories about love, tragedy, communism, and dog fights.
- 'Pan’s Labyrinth' Another must-watch movie comes from acclaimed director Guillermo Del Toro. Pan’s Labyrinth (2006), a Spanish-Mexican dark fantasy, is both magical and mythical.
- 'Amar te Duele' Amar te Duele (2002) is probably one of if not my favorite Mexican movie of all time. It's a love story, which I have a soft spot for, but it also has great dialogue, an awesome early 2000s soundtrack, and accurately depicts how high-class, privileged families and lower socioeconomic people interact in Mexico.

For the many of you who don’t know, this translates into: “Love in the Time of Hysteria”. On a more solemn note, this was Alfonso Cuaron’s, the brilliant director of ‘Gravity‘, first full-feature film. The sex-comedy is a deeply satsifactory effort, which basically revolves around the brazen and charming Tomas, and his hilarious attempts at fulfill...
If not already, Javier Bardemis quickly becoming an actor other thespians are jealous of. His wide range of emotions, which bracket from playing a deadpan psychopathic killer, to playing a troubled and vulnerable man, desperate for stimulation in his life, always tend to surprise. His role in Alexandro Innaritu’s eviscerating ‘Biutiful’ falls in th...
Or if you want to know more about this chilling account of what transpired on 2 October, 1968 in Mexico City, refer to ‘Rojo Amanecer’. The horror that took form that day in the form of one of the most brutal massacres mankind has ever seen, will literally give you chills as you move ahead in the movie. The original events form the basis of the mov...
The film in Mexico is known ‘Escuela De Vagabundos’. It is so rare and unfounded in nature, that I couldn’t get an image to present a scene. But, indeed, the most priceless of jewels are forever hidden in the commonest of places. Anyways, this classic masterpiece is a hilarious comedy that involves a famous composer, Alberto, and his subsequent soj...
The score of the film is as good as it gets. With a Hans Zimmer-esque attention to detail, and a satiating sense of empowerment and belonging, the music holds you, enthralls you, and sends you into a frenzy. The music, though, is just a part of why this movie is everything you ever dreamed of. A retired violin player revisits his ancestral village,...
The ebullient smile wielding and charming gentleman in the above picture is Cantinflas. His influence on regional cinema, and cinema in general, is way beyond measuring in numbers. Another comedy, another abysmal plot, another triumphant victory. The pattern is rather becoming vaguely regular, right? The events and the ending of the film might not ...
The quintessential film of the past decade. ‘Cell 211’ differentiates itself from every other movie with its bizarre yet intriguing premise. A rebellion that is ruthless and mob-based in nature, threatens to wipe out anything that stands in its way. A security guard decides to be smart and impersonate an inmate to survive the uprising. Brilliantly ...
Alejandro Jodorowsky‘s avant-garde masterpiece tells the story of a black-clad gunfighter who sets out on a journey across the Western landscape and comes across several bizarre, fascinating characters. The film unfolds in classic Jodorowsky fashion with surreal occurrences and absurd events happening throughout the narrative. Like all of his films...
Arguably the best film of 2018, ‘Roma‘ is a deeply moving portrait of the life of a middle-class family’s maid in the midst of the political turmoil that Mexico was in during the 70s. ‘Roma’ is strikingly different, stylistically and thematically, from Cuaron’s other works. It has a sombre tone, soaked in raw emotions, that makes for a deeply conte...
Macario, an impoverished indigenous woodcutter, is visited by three deities, or supernatural powers if you will. Meanwhile, his wife prepares his favorite turkey bird for him. Staving off God and the Devil from having a go at his succulent bird, he offers a substantial part to the third visitor, death, in order to live. Death, has its own plans for...
