Roma (2018) Blu-Ray Criterion Collection
on January 2nd, 2022 at 13:33
Writer-director Alfonso Cuaron's Mexican masterpiece Roma (2018) is a magnificent movie, brilliantly staged, and gloriously realised in gorgeous black and white scope images, with a warm and winning saga, highlighted by a couple of heart-stopping moments. Cuaron is also his own cinematographer.
It is a director's film, but real acting is required too, and the two main roles are female, and Yalitza Aparicio and Marina de Tavira are superb as the maid Cleo and the house mother Sofia, both facing difficult, life-changing personal problems, with men, as it happens.
Cuaron’s story chronicles a tumultuous year in the life of a comfortable middle-class family in Mexico City in the early Seventies, a year and a life that he conjures up lavishly and magically. It is heartfelt, personal cinema, and real and relevant feeling, but the scale of some of the reconstructions is breathtaking.
