ROMA

True cinematic excellence. Every frame in this flick is a stunning composition. Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma (2018) engrosses the viewer in a beautifully crafted, deeply moving narrative following a year in the life of a middle-class family maid in Mexico City in the early 1970s.

THE ARTIST

This film is one of the most unique, fun, and entertaining black and white films since the talkies were invented. An homage to Old Hollywood, French director Michel Hazanavicius’ The Artist (2011) was nominated for ten Academy Awards and won five, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor. We love a timeless Hollywood fairytale.
