ROMA (2018)
Special Features: Three Oscar wins: Best Director (Alfonso Cuarón), Best Cinematography & Best Foreign Language Film
Winner of this year's Best Director, Best Cinematography and Best Foreign Language Film Oscars®, ROMA is the most personal project to date from Academy Award®-winning director and writer Alfonso Cuarón (CHILDREN OF MEN, GRAVITY, Y TU MAMÁ TAMBIÉN). Following Cleo (breakout star Yalitza Aparicio), a young domestic worker for a family in the middle-class neighborhood of Roma in Mexico City, Cuarón delivers an artful love letter to the women who raised him, drawing on his own childhood to create a vivid and emotional portrait of domestic strife and social hierarchy amidst the political turmoil of the 1970s.
