'Roma' teaser: 'Gravity' director Alfonso Cuaron is bringing his most personal project yet to Netflix
Alfonso Cuaron’s much talked about creation 'Roma' is almost here and Netflix has just released the first teaser trailer of the film. 'Roma' is set in Mexico City in the early 1970s and follows the life of a middle-class family. Correction: The very turbulent lives of the middle-class family. This being Cuaron's "most essential film", there's no blatant depiction of anything and the trailer just shows water washing over a street.
Cuaron has told Indiewire how personal 'Roma' is to him and called it his most personal project ever. Cuaron explained how it was "shaped by his own memories," saying: “Ninety percent of the scenes represented in the film are scenes taken out of my memory. Sometimes directly, sometimes a bit more obliquely. It’s about a moment of time that shaped me, but also a moment of time that shaped a country. It was the beginning of a long transition in Mexico.”
