#JOSE GUERRERO DEEPFOCUS MOVIE#
But when, later, Cleo realizes she is pregnant and shares the news, she is treated to kind, supportive words and abandonment at a movie theater. The filmmaker spoke at length with Cleo's real life counterpart Libo, learning about the private life hidden from him as a child and so we see a young woman venturing out with her coworker Adela (Nancy García García, Aparicio's real life friend) on a double date with Adela's boyfriend Ramón (José Manuel Guerrero Mendoza) and his handsome cousin Fermín (Jorge Antonio Guerrero). But as the men in their lives dole out pain and hardship, they become something more, a sisterhood of maternal care and survival. At the beginning of the film, they are employer and employee, albeit ones of familial familiarity. Cuarón pays homage to these two women's struggles throughout his film, a recognition of how their sacrifices shaped his life.
A three week Canadian conference is announced to the four children, but Sofia's goodbye embrace suggests desperation. Sofía (Marina de Tavira) about the messiness of the house within Cleo's earshot. Antonio (Fernando Grediaga) complaining to Sra. But as the day closes, we get our first hint of trouble brewing, Sr. With most departed for work or school, Cleo climbs up to the roof, revealing an entire unseen neighborhood of women hanging laundry high above the city. The household is chaotic in the morning, Cleo both attending to breakfast and gently wakening children. Yet Borras is also a source of joy as he bounds high into the air to greet family members. Borras the dog appears to spend his life here, every arrival and departure a challenge to keep him in, his excrement a flashpoint for weightier issues. Opening on the sudsy water being swept across a tiled courtyard, an airplane in the sky reflected in a settled pool, Cuarón emphasizes both Cleo's daily toil and the sense of something left behind. Watching "Roma" is like having someone else's memories transferred into your brain, so acute is the sensation of nostalgia, so specific are these sights and sounds where the simplest things can have as much power as dramatic events. The film is reminiscent of Italian neorealism, yet Cuarón's shimmering black and white deep focus camerawork sets it apart (the director took over duties from his long time cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki due to scheduling conflicts). He was mainly brought up by Cleo (Yalitza Aparicio), one of two maids who worked for his middle class family in the neighborhood called "Roma." Cuarón returns to his native country for the first time since his 2001 breakout "Y Tu Mamá También" and his long gestating passion project proves nothing short of breathtaking. As a young boy in 1970, writer/producer/director/cinematographer/editor Alfonso Cuarón ("Gravity") witnessed the dissolution of his parents' marriage during tumultuous times in Mexico City.
