Alfonso Cuaron made me fall in love with him in 2006 with Children of Men, easily the best film of that year. I loved it so much that i watched his filmography and even became a Harry Potter fan. Years went by and i anticipated Gravity, a film that while well crafted, ultimately underwhelmed me. Roma, is his most visually stunning since Children of Men, not in effects, but in cinematography. Gorgeous black & white, beautiful pans, every shot is a portrait. It has the feel of Francis Ford Coppola, especially Rumble Fish, but tonally feels more like modern Coppola. The film as i stated is gorgeous, it is a damn fine film, but a film i ultimately felt was some what bland. I suggest the film for artistry but i wasn't very moved by it.
