Congrats to Director Alfonso Cuarón on His Wins and Nominations!
Netflix
We are now in award season and Oscar-winning director, Alfonso Cuarón’s film, Roma (Netflix), has received widespread acclaim thus far, 132 wins and 152 nominations (per IMDB). Most recently, Best Director and Best Foreign-Language Film at the 2019 Golden Globes and now, he’s nominated for the Academy Awards in the Best Director category, and Roma’s leading actress’, Yaltiza Aparicio is nominated in the Best Actress and Marina de Tavira in the Best Supporting Actress categories.
With all this excitement, we are happy to share an interview done by The Red Bulletin with Cuarón by Marco Payan. Here’s a portion of it, but it continues on the The Red Bulletin site. Enjoy!
The Mexican film director has no fear of the unknown. Upon the release of his new film, Roma, the Oscar winner shares how he overcame feelings of insecurity and why his curiosity to explore uncharted territory is what challenges him to unlock new levels of creative freedom.
Alfonso Cuarón does not like to repeat himself.

Over the course of his nearly 30-year career, the acclaimed director has created eight distinctive universes, an octet of films not bound by genre or geography—from the enchanting fairy tale A Little Princess and the coming-of-age road trip Y Tu Mamá También to the apocalyptic nightmare of Children of Men and his Oscar-winning turn in space with Gravity. But despite all the obvious differences, Cuarón’s entire body of work is connected by a sense of exploration, one that pushes his creative boundaries, both technically and personally. In his follow-up to 2013’s Gravity—the box office smash starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney—Cuarón decided to make Roma, a black-and-white film rooted in 1970s Mexico City featuring a largely unknown cast (streaming on Netflix now). It’s a deeply personal story for the 57-year-old, who has said that 90 percent of the scenes came from his memory. Set during a time of political unrest, the film is a snapshot of one middle-class family told through the perspective of their housekeeper. Although it is not another technical marvel set in space, “Roma” still posed challenges for Cuarón. But as he explains, without challenging yourself, there is no payoff. There are no discoveries unless you have the courage to explore the unknown. Continues…
