I think there's more cinematic verve to the delayed on-screen title card of The Departed than anything in Y tu Mama Tambien.
Hey, at least you were not so cruel that you made us choose between y Tu Mama Tambien & Children of Men.
Growing up Latinx, YTMT was THE coming of age film. No pun intended. So many insights into Mexican and Latin American society, family, sexuality etc...
I’ll watch The Departed any time it’s on, but it’s just one in Scorsese’s bunch.
Sorry but I have to be "that guy". For me, The Departed was the moment Scorcese finally slipped into sad self-parody, never to recover. When he made "Bringing Out the Dead" at the tail end of the 90's it really gave me a flash of hope that he wasn't going to go quietly into that good night, and that he was about to get an inspired second wind of weird 70's-style experimentation. Gangs of New York was great and confounded the worst critics in all the best ways. Everything after that has been masturbatory fun at best (Wolf of Wall Street), and at worst..........pretty heartbreaking tbh.
Y Tu Mama Tambien deserves to win for being an explosively fresh introduction for what would become one of the best filmmakers of his generation. Instead, I'm sure it'll lose here to a half-hearted effort from a director on his way down.
This was a really tough one for me. The Departed was an important film to me as a budding young cinephile and I watched it repeatedly in my high school days. Unfortunately, it is still lower-tier Scorsese, and it just can't compete with a film so personal and so beautiful like Y Tu Mama Tambien. We will still have plenty other better Scorsese films, but Y Tu Mama is an essential piece of Cuaron's work.
I died a little casting this vote. Went with Y Tu Mama Tambien but, damn, it was tough.
This awards season has made it even more clear to myself that as strong as his filmography becomes Y tu Mama Tambien remains his strongest film.
There's no way Alfonso Cuarón's best movie deserves to be eliminated in the first round, but here we are.
I think there is a serious debate to be had between whether Y Tu Mama or Children of Men is Cuaron's best film. Y Tu Mama is that good.
I feel pretty confident in picking The Departed here, but it’s headed straight for a Dark Knight matchup in the Sweet Sixteen, so enjoy it while it lasts.
