Y tu mamá también (2001 “And Your Mother Too”), which he also wrote, tracks the friendship between two teenage boys as they set out on a road trip with an attractive married woman and is simultaneously a vivid commentary on social class within Mexico. This was followed by Great Expectations (1998), a loose adaptation of the Charles Dickens novel with a Hollywood cast that included Gwyneth Paltrow, Ethan Hawke, and Robert De Niro.Ĭuarón’s breakout hit, however, came when he returned to Spanish-language filmmaking. Cuarón then directed his first English-language theatrical release, the imaginative A Little Princess (1995), based on Frances Hodgson Burnett’s classic children’s book of the same name. The film was very successful in Mexico and brought Cuarón to the attention of the American director Sydney Pollack, who invited him to direct an episode of his film-noir television series Fallen Angels (1993). That position led to television directing, which in turn led to directing movies.Ĭuarón’s first feature-length film was Sólo con tu pareja (1991 Love in the Time of Hysteria), for which he also wrote the screenplay.
