What critics compared Sólo con tu pareja to
Indeed, it’s surprising to realize he’s only directed eight films since his 1991 debut, “Solo con Tu Pareja.”
Curiosamente, son sus películas mexicanas las que mejor escarban en esta inquietud, lo mismo si se trata de una comedia romántica sobre el SIDA, como Sólo con tu pareja (1991) o una road movie de voltaje erótico como Y tu mamá también (2001); en ambas, los personajes se catapultan hacia el deseo como una última aventura antes de morir.
Like his 1991 debut, the satirical romantic comedy Sólo con Tu Pareja , it explores the turbulent domestic lives of middle-class Mexico City dwellers—though in Roma ’s case the scope opens up to include the lives of their live-in servants.
Cuarón’s career is diverse and celebrated; after his 1991 debut, the Mexican film Sólo con Tu Pareja , he quickly migrated to movies that proved to have broad audience and critical appeal: A Little Princess (1995), Great Expectations (1998), Y Tu Mamá También (2001), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004, widely considered the best of the Harry Potter adaptations), Children of Men (2006), and Gravity (2013).
First, in 1991, he made Soló con tu pareja , a Mexican film with political overtones, that features a lot of sex.
