Cinema: the Mexican trio

Alfonso Cuaron, Alejandro González Iñárritu and Guillermo Del Toro are all three Mexican directors from the same generation - 61-64. They represent a new generation of Mexican directors and some of the best that Mexican cinema has offered the world in recent years. They are now centerstage of present day global cinema. Their most recent films are becoming global success stories, north-american, british or spanish expensive productions staging la creme de la creme of fashionable actors. Yet they became noticed and known with Mexican homemade productions, like "Amores Perros", "Y tu maman también" and others, having launched some nowadays famous actors like Gael Garcial Bernal. They have "left" Mexico and became global diectors. Yet I miss their Mexican films and hope they film again soon in their native country...
