The Sundance comedy, “Rudo Y Cursi,” starring “Y Tu Mama Tambien” pals Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal about dimwitted brothers recruited by rival soccer teams hasn’t even premiered at the film festival yet, but it already has a soundtrack. How? It already opened in its native Mexico in December where it’s been doing extremely well (the two are huge stars there; the soundtrack was released in mehico in late November).
As we noted yesterday in our Sundance ’09 Music Preview piece, the movie and soundtrack features tracks by Juana Molina, Black Lips, Devendra Banhart, Nortec Collective and Mexican artists like Juan Son, Nia Dioz and Adanowsky. Bernal has a friendship and history with the hirsute Banhart having sung on “Cristobal” from the album Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon and he included the song in the credits of his feature-directorial debut, “Déficit” last year.
Leoncio Lara composed the score and the film is so popular, a two-disc soundtrack is already available South of the border. Sony Pictures Classics has already picked up the film, pre-Sundance premiere for what is presumably a 2009 release, but smart money says you won’t see the film or soundtrack in North American until at least the fall.
