Wonderful New Trailer For Director Alfonso Cuaron's ROMA
Netflix has released another trailer for director Alfonso Cuaron’s beautiful-looking film Roma. Cuaron is the same filmmaker who brought us Gravity and Children of Men, but this new movie of his is very different from those. That’s not a bad thing! The movie looks great, but it’s not going to be the kind of movie for everyone.
Here’s a little insight on what the heartwarming and inspirational film will explore:
Time and Space constrain us, but they also define who we are, creating inexplicable bonds with the others that flow with us at the same time and through the same places.
The movie is obviously going to tell a very intimate and human story and here’s the story description that was released for the movie:
ROMA chronicles a turbulent year in the lives of a middle-class family in 1970s Mexico City. Cuarón, inspired by the women from his childhood, delivers an artful ode to the matriarchy that shaped his world.
A vivid portrayal of domestic strife and social hierarchy amidst political turmoil, ROMA follows a young domestic worker Cleo (Yalitza Aparicio) from Mixteco heritage descent and her co-worker Adela (Nancy García), also Mixteca, who work for a small family in the middle-class neighborhood of Roma. Mother of four, Sofia (Marina de Tavira), copes with the extended absence of her husband, Cleo faces her own devastating news that threatens to distract her from caring for Sofia’s children, whom she loves as her own. While trying to construct a new sense of love and solidarity in a context of a social hierarchy where class and race are perversely intertwined, Cleo and Sofia quietly wrestle with changes infiltrating the family home in a country facing confrontation between a government-backed militia and student demonstrators.
Filmed in luminous black and white, ROMA is an intimate, gut-wrenching and ultimately life-affirming portrait of the ways, small and large, one family maintains its balance in a time of personal, social and political strife.
Cuaron is a wonderful filmmaker and storyteller and this was a special story for him to tell. I’ll be looking forward to seeing it.
Netflix has confirmed that the film will be released in theaters on November 21st and on Netflix on December 14th.
