Mancora

Mancora tells the story of a young man who, after mourning the death of his father, takes refuge in Mancora, Peru with his estranged stepsister and her arrogant husband. Directed by Ricardo de Montreuil the film premiered at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.

Montreuil began his career working as a Senior Creative Director for MTV Latin America. His short film Amiga received the Creative Achievement Award at the "Festival du Cinema de Paris". In 2005 he made his feature directorial debut La Mujer de mi hermano, also known as My Brother's Wife.

"Like a poor cousin to "Y tu mama tambien," "Mancora" charts an emotionally and sexually eventful road trip by two guys and a girl from a big city to a beach. Unfortunately, these three don't make very agreeable traveling companions. Although a couple hot sex scenes and the presence of Spanish star Elsa Pataky supply ample commercial viability, second feature by Peruvian musicvid and commercials ace Ricardo de Montreuil will still have trouble approaching the huge success, especially in Latin America, of his debut, "My Brother's Wife." -Variety
