Let the first teaser for Alfonso Cuarón’s ‘Roma’ wash over you

“There are periods in history that scar societies and moments in life that transform us as individuals.”
Academy Award-winning director Alfonso Cuarón (Gravity) took to Twitter to reveal the first look at his highly anticipated film, Roma, his first in five years.
Shot in incredibly evocative black & white we see a water-soaked floor. The sounds of cleaning and scrubbing then a rush of water. Titles appear in yellow and then disappear with the water. A plane flies over. Simple, but gorgeous and tantalizing.
