Alfonso Cuarón

Alfonso Cuaron's Roma is told through Cleo, who works in a family's house in the Mexico of the early seventies, where his own childhood passed; it won him three Oscars, for directing, for cinematography and for foreign language film. Y Tu Mama Tambien was a road film about the crossing into adulthood, nodding at Truffaut's Jules et Jim, asking the question of class openly and carrying a sharp look at Mexico's social and economic order. Emmanuel Lubezki, with whom he has worked for many years, shot its images handheld. Children of Men he adapted from P. D. James's novel of 1992, following Theo through a world where nobody can conceive after an epidemic, and it was shot in real London locations.
