📖 Synopsis
Mexico City in the 1970s, seen through the eyes of Cleo, an indigenous domestic worker in the home of a middle-class family facing marital separation. Alfonso Cuarón filmed his own childhood memory in digital black and white —the story of Liboria Rodríguez, the woman who raised him— with a precision of detail and a compassion for invisible work that few films of its caliber have allowed. Winner of the Golden Lion and three Oscars.
✍️ Our review
9.5/10★★★★★
Roma is Alfonso Cuarón's most personal film and one of the most beautiful in recent cinema. Black and white that makes every texture shine. Yalitza Aparicio, in her debut, creates one of the great characters of Mexican cinema.
