...streaming on Netflix from Alphonso Couron.
In most top 10 lists and some regard it as the best film of the year.
It is indeed a special film if you have the patience for Couron's indulgence into the design, look and feel of the film.
And it is like you are there seeing this world through the eyes of the housekeeper/nanny. There are many memorable scenes that will reosnate with you afterward.
Top 10 - yes. Best film - maybe.
From the review:
"It's a black-and-white film with non-actors in Mexico City in the '70s," Bird said. "But when you see the film, it has an epic feeling that's unlike anything. It's like being in the spot. It's an experiential film, it's like you are there."
Much of that stemmed from Cuarón's exacting production process: He took 108 days to shoot, in chronological order. He did did not share the script, parceling out information on a must-know basis, all of which was a challenge for his crew as well as his actors."
This is easily the best Cuarón film, his most mature.
We both loved it, to the point of ignoring the bathroom breaks. :)

I have to agree - Probably one of the best films I have seen in a while- baring films from days gone past-
Quite an excellent evening!
Happy Listening

Very impressive.
I don't have streaming so checked to see if it was available at Netflix on disc. No luck. Strange

They are examining new policy of streaming just a couple of weeks after the film hits the theaters. It is not yet clear if it is going to hold.
There are several more films by that director available there as DVD's, but none of them in my view even comes close to his Roma.

Interesting. Thanks Vic. I wonder how the theater owners will react to that? I just checked and it had a release date in November. Probably still showing on big screens around the country.

And a more interesting story.
