“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.

Roma will play the Venice and Toronto International Film Festivals and is the Centerpiece of the New York Film Festival. It will be released theatrically by Netflix on December 14th.

This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013. He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Critics Choice Association (CCA), San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle (SFBAFCC) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
