Synopsis
A virtually plotless, gaudy, impressionistic portrait of Rome through the eyes of one of its most famous citizens.
Films Roma Inspired
I revisited a lot of Mexican films, particularly from the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema, like Buñuel’s Los Olvidados to kind of remember the texture and the sounds of Mexico City.
I revisited films that portray human experiences, the passing of life. The Apu Trilogy, 'Pather Panchali' especially, for the way it portrays childhood and family. That was very important.
