In this second half of our episode, we take a look at 2018's Roma, a film set largely in Mexico City, despite the title.
Roma has the distinction among Cuarón's films to be released on a very limited basis in theaters, and since then exclusively on Netflix. They've done this a couple of times (see also: The Irishman), but whether this turns into a larger model remains to be seen.
COMING ATTRACTIONS:
We continue south on our world tour with 1972's State of Siege, directed by Costa-Gavras, and The Secret in Their Eyes from 2009, directed by Juan José Campanella. This is a compelling pair of films with very different stories.
