[Tyler Hewitt]

This Sunday's New York Times has  magazine supplement
titled "Men's fashions of the Times". In it, there's a
photo spread of young, independant film directors.

First up is Alfonso Curaon. 

There's only a couple mentions of the PoA film, but it
hints at a possible focus on romance. Of course, it
could jst be the invention of the writer who did the
piece:


"Who else could go from the randy sexual variations of
''Y Tu Mama Tambien'' to hormonal lust in the halls of
Hogwarts? The Mexican maverick has taken over the
''Harry Potter'' franchise in one of the slyest
directorial coups in years. And you know it's in
capable hands. An oeuvre including both ''Y Tu Mama
Tambien'' and the wondrous 1995 children's film ''A
Little Princess'' suggests a new kind of breathless
indeed."

Here's the caption under his photo:
"ALFONSO CUARON: When he was offered the third ''Harry
Potter'' film, Cuaron, 41, thought the Warner Brothers
suits were ''on acid.'' But the idea made sense. His
coming-of-age sex romp, ''Y Tu Mama Tambien,'' wasn't
so far removed from Hogwarts. ''I didn't know much
about the 'Potter' universe, but I got excited when I
read the material,'' he says. ''It was coming on the
heels of a film about teenagers trying to forge their
identities as adults. Here was something about a child
searching for his identity as a teenager.'' "
