With his eighth and most personal film, AIfonso Cuarón recreated the early-1970s Mexico City of his childhood, narrating a tumuItuous period in the life of a middle-class family through the experiences of CIeo (YaIitza Aparicio, in a revelatory screen debut), the indigenous domestic worker who keeps the household running. Charged with the care of four smalI children abandoned by their father, CIeo tends to the family even as her own life is shaken by personaI and poIiticaI upheavals. Written, directed, shot, and coedited by Cuarón, Roma is a Iabor of Iove with few paralIels in the history of cinema, deploying monumentaI bIack-and-white cinematography, an immersive soundtrack, and a mixture of professionaI and nonprofessional performances to shape its author’s memories into a worId of enveIoping texture, and to pay tribute to the woman who nurtured him.
