I made this illustration about the movie “Roma” by Alfonso Cuarón for Entertainment Weekly @entertainmentweekly @ewartdept. It was published on December 7th.
The film, which is filmed entirely in black and white, follows Cleo a housekeeper in a wealthy family in early 1970s Mexico City. Cuarón is able to show the big picture in small details. In the same way a detail reflects something beyond itself, individual lives are a reflection of a larger shared historical experience. Even the menial and mundane tasks of Cleo, the housekeeper – and by extension all of us – constitute the very fabric (!) of our communities and cities.
