Gerardo Naranjo & Maria Deschamps, I'm Gonna Explode (Voy a Explotar)



A fan of French New Wave, Italian neorealism and American pop
culture, Gerardo Naranjo tells how his Romeo and Juliet tale of two
rebellious Mexican teenagers differs in so many ways from its
Hollywood counterparts especially in its sexual frankness. As
leading lady Maria Deschamps explains, with her mother's
permission she was happy at 16 to make her film debut with a nude
sex scene. For his third feature, Naranjo was buoyed by Gael
Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna as producers.
