All of Mexico is looking at something you can see in the Mexican movie; Rudo y Cursi, right now in real life.
Pretty women, soccer stars and drug dealers. This is a bad combination. The movie has a light touch, but Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal, together with Carlos Cuarón (Alfonso Cuarón's brother) take these things very seriously.
Diego Luna is the nephew of a good friend of mine. We met many years ago, and now she is a Sociology Professor at UNAM. I don't know Diego personally, but I've seen his efforts to publicize the Ciudad Juarez's crimes against women. I know he is not an empty headed celebrity.
Well, now all of Mexico knows it. We have a problem.

If you want to watch the movie, I guess you can get it at Blockbuster.
