Watched for a project I’m working on that may or may not end up on the channel, genuinely not sure. Very much in love with this movie. The way it starts with sex as a way of depicting union and ends in a split as though this whole thing was one giant transformation into something that’s been subtly (debatable) teased throughout the entire film.

This movie handsdown masuk ke top 10 film fave gw all the time. Cuaron sukses memadukan komedi, drama, coming of age dan political situation dengan sangat pas! Ditambah dengan shot fantastisnya, memang tidak sepoetic Roma, tp damn, gw jd pengen roadtrip ke pantai pas nonton ini film.

Gw suka gimana Cuaron menyelipkan situasi politik di scene-scenenya, seperti pernikahan kakak Tenoch yg dihadiri oleh Presiden Mexico, lalu sekelabat patroli bersenjata polisi ketika Tenoch, Julio dan Luisa sedang roadtrip. Scene ketika Tenoch, Julio dan Luisa sedang bersantai di dalam mobil yang melaju dan melewati sekumpulan petugas bersenjata yang sedang menodong rakyat sipil itu for me superb!

Tidak lupa Cuaron mampu memamerkan kultur Mexico dengan sangat bagus.…
