Alfonso Cuarón’s breathtaking, Academy Award–winning tribute to the woman who raised him
Now on home video for the first time
With his eighth and most personal film, Alfonso Cuarón recreated the early-1970s Mexico City of his childhood, narrating a tumultuous period in the life of a middle-class family through the experiences of Cleo (Yalitza Aparicio, in a revelatory screen debut), the indigenous domestic worker who keeps the household running. Charged with the care of four small children abandoned by their father, Cleo tends to the family even as her own life is shaken by personal and political upheavals.
Written, directed, shot, and coedited by Cuarón, Roma is a labor of love with few parallels in the history of cinema, deploying monumental black-and-white cinematography, an immersive soundtrack, and a mixture of professional and nonprofessional performances to shape its author’s memories into a world of enveloping texture, and to pay tribute to the woman who nurtured him.
Director-Approved Special Edition Features
- 4K digital master, supervised by director Alfonso Cuarón, with Dolby Atmos soundtrack
- Documentaries on the making of the film, the film’s sound and postproduction processes
- Alternate French subtitles and Spanish SDH for the film
- And more!

Thankfully, Criterion has released an excellently packaged Blu-ray disc with an informative book. Cuaron is a talented director. "Gravity" was an epic (in the true sense of the word) film. "Roma" shows his sensitivity and big heart. Most upper middle class families use their staff and take them for granted. Cuaron's family looked on Cleo as a family member and gave her moral support during her personal crisis. We don't see many directors making movies about the sad, thankless lives of people who give everything they possibly can, never complain, receive little in return and are ultimately forgotten. Cuaron is the exception to the rule and I thank him for his heartfelt and touching film. I thought about it for several days after watching it - it truly haunted me. I can't say the same for most of the disposable movies out there competing for awards every year.
Enter: The Criterion Collection. This is one of the best TCC sets I own. The presentation, the booklet (more like novelette), box, and special features are truly what this movie deserves.
Roma should've won Best Picture at the Oscars. I like to think that by buying this beautiful set, I'm supporting great art and workmanship (and The Criterion Collection) without having to pay $100+ per year for Netflix.

Aidé en çà par une utilisation très intelligente de sa caméra, notamment avec ces superbes travellings circulaires, ou tout simplement à chaque placement de sa caméra.
Et même si je pouvais avoir quelques réserves sur l'utilisation du noir et blanc, parce-que très souvent mis en avant comme effet de mode ou un retour à un cinéma dit à l'ancienne, plutôt que comme une vraie plus valu par rapport à la couleur.
Eh bien je dois dire que j'ai dû ravaler mon chapeau cette fois, parce-que le noir et blanc mis au point par son réalisateur, contribuent assez bien à rendre cet effet d'introspection sur les souvenirs de son cinéaste, et dont on sait qu'il s'est inspiré de sa propre histoire personnelle pour concevoir ce film, mais aussi sur la manière dont ce pense le cinéma plus généralement.
Les quelques détracteurs qui n'ont pas aimé celui-ci, diront un peu abusivement que les plans sont trop longs, comme par exemple: du contemplatif à la Terrence Malick, ou qui ne comprend pas ce qu'il filme comme un Denis Villeneuve. Absolument pas, on est aux antipodes de ces "réalisateurs" qui se regardent le nombril.
C'est en fait d'une implacable efficacité dans son sens du rythme, et je n'ai personnellement pas vu le temps passer sur les deux heures neuf que dure le film, et pour qui s'intéresse un peu comme moi à la réalisation, c'est un régal.
Encore une fois, je le redis, je parle d'un grand maître de la réalisation, un peu comme si c'était la dernière création de Stanley Kubrick.
Cette aussi un des points forts des grands cinéastes, c'est d'arriver à nous faire rentrer dans des sujets pour lesquels on ne s'intéresserait pas forcément par d'autres biais.
Pour terminer, je saluerai l'éditeur: Warner Bros. Entertainment France, qui nous gâte avec cette très belle édition collector DVD en 4K, et qui nous permet de profiter de sa dernière oeuvre dans toute sa richesse thématique et visuelle qui l'habite.
