No. 107 (2018) Roma Dec 6th.

Film No 107 (2018) Dec. 6th.  7.00PM  PALACE CINEMAS Paradiso,  Northbridge . 

"Of course not Cleo. We love you."(Cleo receives the response from Sofia she'd craved for after asking if the family was going to sack her).

Alfonso Guaron (Gravity, Children of Men) creates his first masterpiece. Roma is stunningly prophetic, depicting love and compassion in such simple terms. Guaron has tried to capture a slice (one year) of his childhood in Roma during the early seventies, through the eyes of the family maid, Cleo (Yalitza Aparico). The black and white images, shot in wide-screen, flow from one steady pan-shot to another as firstly the family and then Cleo are cast aside by men with neither care nor conscience. Why do we become so invested in Cleo and her adopted family? It's the magic of great filmmaking, and you'll know the magic I speak of when the hospital and beach scenes unfold before you. You'll be emotionally stretching out to help in any way possible. Loveless blew me away in early 2018; Roma trumps Loveless. Within a month people will be watching Roma on Netfilx, that's a shame, because the cinema is the place to see it. 12GUMS.
