Roma

‘Roma’ is a transcendent work of cinema, one where no amount of words can come close to capturing the feelings you have while watching it. This is a work that could only have been cinema, from one of the few directors capable of creating works of cinema at its purest. ‘Roma’ is life itself, the delicacy of memory, the chaos of love, the movement of nature and history, human beings crashing against one other as the atoms of the universe crash around them. Alfonso Cuarón has not just delivered a personal ode to a city he loves, to a time and a place that haunts him, to a figure who defined him, but given us the chance to see the same within ourselves, a window into his soul that is a window into our own. Some of us will have the chance to see ‘Roma’ in a cinema, and some will only have the chance to see it on our televisions, but we are so lucky to be seeing a film like this at all. ‘Roma’ is another masterwork from one of the greatest filmmakers this medium has ever seen. In the centuries to come, as long as film is studied and adored, so will this film be. ‘Roma’ is the best films of the year, one of the best films ever made, a miracle of modern cinema and a masterpiece for the ages. - Daniel Lammin Read Daniel’s full review... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-roma-a-transcendent-work-of-memory-and-cinema
