ONE-TIME CLUB EVENTS

Movie Night
Amores Perros (2000)
Tuesday February 6 in MC2065 @ 7:30PM
Amores Perros (Love’s a Bitch in some English-speaking markets) is an Academy Award nominated 2000 Mexican film. It is the first film of a trilogy by director Alejandro González Iñárritu who later directed the films 21 Grams and Babel. AMORES PERROS is a bold, intensely emotional, and ambitious story of lives that collide in a Mexico City car crash. Inventively structured as a triptych of overlapping and intersecting narratives, AMORES PERROS explores the lives of disparate characters who are catapulted into unforeseen dramatic situations instigated by the seemingly inconsequential destiny of a dog named Cofi.

Y tu mamá también (2001)
Tuesday March 6 in MC2065 @ 7:30PM
Y tu mamá también (literally “And your mother, too”, but released in English-speaking markets under the original Spanish title) is a 2001 Mexican film directed by Alfonso Cuarón who later directed the films Children of Men, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and Great Expectations. A coming-of-age story about the road trip of two teenage boys with a woman in her twenties, the film is set against the backdrop of the political and economic realities of present-day Mexico, specifically at the end of the uninterrupted seventy-year line of revolutionary Mexican presidents from the PRI, and the rise of the opposition headed by Vicente Fox.
