Abstract
Me, You, Them (2000) is a Brazilian film, like María Novaro’s Mexican Danzón (1991), whose central character is a woman and whose focus is togetherness, consolidation, and accommodation—not the loneliness, isolation, or apartness of any Pedro Almodóvar film. Me, You, Them was the (at the time) thirty-one-year-old Andrucha Waddington’s second picture (with a screenplay by Elena Soarez) after a brief career making commercials and music videos.
