My Wife's Favorite Films of 2018
DVDecember 2018 (41 movies items)"First viewing - Dec. 17th Much ado has been made among critics about Roma, so when I found out the local indie theatre was screening it I figured I should catch it while I could. I wasn't sure if it'd last for another weekend, so I made a point to leave home on a weeknight just so I wouldn't miss it (and then the next day found out it WAS held over). And when it ended, my main thought was "that was it?" Now that doesn't mean I found nothing to appreciate here...on technical levels it's an outst"
Preliminary 2018 Academy Awards Predictions (21 movies items)"1.Alfonso Cuarón- RomaWhile BP looks, a bit, like a dogfight, Director appears to have Cuarón in the driver's seat. His autobiographical, black-and-white Mexican epic has the director going full-auteur, a designation that'll score him respect and admiration from both the director's branch that he needs to score a nomination, and the filmmaking community in general. Not a lock to win (that Netflix label will, still, taint the film for some voters), but the early favorite. 2.Bradley Cooper- A "

Lo que no veo, por obvias razones, en esa tradición, es la posibilidad de tomar con la perspectiva de hoy el punto de vista, sin forzarlo ni declamarlo, de la empleada, como parte de una comunidad de afectos y disrupciones, de la que también participa la madre de familia. Roma tiene su ángulo para cada uno, y yo escojo esa confluencia, en el plano conjunto emotivo y climático en la playa (recogido en el afiche), de la historia de Cleo y el aborto no deseado del embarazo tampoco deseado, con esa mujer que anuncia que empezará a trabajar por independencia y necesidad.
