Roma
Won: Best Foreign Language Film and Alfonso Cuarón for Best Director
Released briefly in cinemas as well as on Netflix, this Spanish and Mixtec film is written and directed by Cuarón, known for his previous work on cult classics Y Tu Mamá También and Children of Men and crown pleasers Gravity and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The film, which is hotly tipped for Oscar attention, tells the story of young maid Cleo (Yalitza Aparicio), who works for a middle-class family in Roma, Mexico City.
