Set to the build-up of wails in the Pink Floyd classic “The Great Gig In The Sky,” this new trailer for Roma, from director and writer Alfonso Cuarón (Gravity, Children of Men), announces itself in a most dramatic way.
The logline: Roma follows Cleo (Yalitza Aparicio), a young domestic worker for a family in the middle-class neighborhood of Roma in Mexico City. Delivering an artful love letter to the women who raised him, Cuarón draws on his own childhood to create a vivid and emotional portrait of domestic strife and social hierarchy amidst political turmoil of the 1970s.
