Netflix has released a gorgeous new trailer for Alfonso Cuarón‘s Roma, which follows a year in the life of a family in 1970s Mexico City. In a bit of change, Netflix is giving the film a theatrical run a few weeks ahead of its streaming debut on the service, clearly confident of its awards potential.
Roma stars Yalitza Aparicio, Marina de Tavira, and Diego Cortina Autrey. It will get a limited theatrical release on November 21st before it’s available to stream on Netflix on December 14th.
The most personal project to date from Academy Award®-winning director and writer Alfonso Cuarón (Gravity, Children of Men, Y Tu Mama Tambien), ROMA follows Cleo (Yalitza Aparicio), a young domestic worker for a family in the middle-class neighborhood of Roma in Mexico City. Delivering an artful love letter to the women who raised him, Cuarón draws on his own childhood to create a vivid and emotional portrait of domestic strife and social hierarchy amidst political turmoil of the 1970s. Cuarón’s first project since the groundbreaking Gravity in 2013.
