Don Juan-ish yuppie Tomas Tomas spends his nights juggling so many beautiful women that he can't keep their names straight - until one of his many conquests, a spurned nurse, gives him a taste of his own medicine. Beautifully filmed in widescreen by the inimitable Emmanuel Lubezki, Cuaron's wildly successful feature debut gave voice to a Mexican middle-class that had remained largely unseen onscreen and surveys contemporary urban sexual mores with style to spare. Part of the Criterion Collection. desertcart.com A fast-paced romantic comedy, Sólo con tu pareja was director Alfonso Cuarón's ticket to a bright and promising future. Inspired by the classic screwball comedies of Ernst Lubitsch, this social satire (the title translates as "Only with Your Partner") was Cuarón's feature debut, but because it was a state-funded film that poked fun at Mexican culture, it was initially withheld from release by the Mexican government, only to become a critical and popular success when it was finally released in Mexico in 1991. (It wasn't released in the U.S. until 2006.) A remarkably polished debut, it offered ample proof that Cuarón was a talent to watch, as proven by the films Cuarón would later direct both in and out of Hollywood, including A Little Princess (1995), Great Expectations (1998), Y tu mamá también (2001), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), and the near-future thriller Children of Men (2006). The talent behind those later films is fully evident here, and from a lively script by his brother Carlos, Cuarón concocts a frothy farce about a reckless playboy named Tomás (Daniel Giménez Cacho, from Almodovar's Bad Education) whose bed-hopping catches up with him when his latest conquest, a sexy nurse, falsely checks the "positive" box on his latest AIDS test to curtail Tomás's rampant womanizing. Now wait a minute... this is a comedy with AIDS humor, from 1991? This was certainly a bold move from the Cuarón brothers, but the humor is handled with graceful style, and as Tomás grows affectionately obsessed with a gorgeous neighbor in his Mexico City apartment building, his once-thriving love life grows increasingly (and comedically) complicated. The casting is flawless, the slapstick humor is impeccably timed, and the film is technically blessed by the brilliant cinematography of Emmanuel Lubezki, who supervised this high-definition digital transfer to DVD, and who followed Cuarón on a mutual path to international acclaim. Thematically enriched by Mozart's Don Giovanni (heard throughout the soundtrack), Sólo con tu pareja can now be appreciated as a well-crafted launching pad for one of the most consistently impressive filmmakers of the early 21st century. --Jeff ShannonOn the DVD The Criterion Collection supplements for Sólo con tu pareja are nearly as enjoyable as the film itself. "Making Sólo con tu pareja" is a 30-minute documentary (2006) featuring in-depth interviews with Alfonso and Carlos Cuarón and lead actor Daniel Giménez Cacho. Also included is Cuarteto para el fin del tiempo, a short written and directed by Alfonso Cuarón when he was a film student in 1983; another short film, Noche de bodas ("Wedding Night"), written and directed for Mexican television by Carlos Cuarón in 2000; and the original theatrical trailer for Sólo con tu pareja. In the accompanying 28-page booklet, an essay by scholar Ryan F. Long examines the film from the perspective of Mexican culture and politics, and Carlos Cuarón contributes a detailed character history of Tomás that was written so Daniel Giménez Cacho could thoroughly understand the character he was playing. (Other character profiles are available on the Criterion Collection Web site.) It's a fascinating piece of background history, demonstrating the care and detail that went into the creation of this highly enjoyable comedy. --Jeff Shannon Review: Solo Con Tu Pareja - In his madcap debut film, the Mexican director of "Y Tu Mama Tambien" somehow fuses a bawdy farce in the grand Hollywood tradition with a modern commentary on HIV and mortality--and makes it work. What begins as a room-to-room sex romp--with Tomás clambering along catwalks between his apartment and that of his friend Mateo (Luis de Icaza), who's helping out in the seduction game--soon takes a sobering turn as the bird-dogging bachelor finds himself wrapped in the arms of both love and death. Assured and lively, fluidly paced and buoyantly acted, "Solo con tu pareja" is a slapstick comedy with a zesty Latin heart. Review: Sexy Fun - Somewhat predictable but still fun. The acting is good but the characters a one dimensional. Still, good entertainment with a number of good laughs ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000H5U5R6 | | Actors | Alfonso Cuarn, Carlos Cuarn, Daniel Gimnez Cacho, Moises Arizmendi, Vanessa Bauche | | Aspect Ratio | 1.78:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #197,998 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #2,703 in Foreign Films (Movies & TV) #7,230 in Romance (Movies & TV) #19,289 in Comedy (Movies & TV) | | Customer Reviews | 3.6 3.6 out of 5 stars (46) | | Director | Alfonso Cuarn, Carlos Cuarn | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | CRRN1652DVD | | Language | Spanish (Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo) | | MPAA rating | Unrated (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Color, Dolby, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.54 x 5.3 x 7.54 inches; 4 ounces | | Release date | October 17, 2006 | | Run time | 1 hour and 34 minutes | | Studio | Criterion Collection | | Subtitles: | English | | Writers | Alfonso Cuarn, Carlos Cuarn | ## Product Details - **Format:** Color, Dolby, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen - **Genre:** Comedy - **Language:** Spanish - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 34 minutes ## Images ![Solo Con Tu Pareja (The Criterion Collection) [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51G8xikvDoL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solo Con Tu Pareja *by J***R on July 17, 2007* In his madcap debut film, the Mexican director of "Y Tu Mama Tambien" somehow fuses a bawdy farce in the grand Hollywood tradition with a modern commentary on HIV and mortality--and makes it work.

This film is much cleverer than the 'screwball comedy' that critics like to call it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/14660399-solo-con-tu-pareja-the-criterion-collection-dvd](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/14660399-solo-con-tu-pareja-the-criterion-collection-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
