Biography

Alfonso Cuarón is one of world cinema's most visually audacious directors, whose films are landmarks of cinematic craft and emotional power. His long-take aesthetic — perfected in Children of Men's extraordinary war sequence — has influenced an entire generation of filmmakers. Gravity won him the Academy Award for Best Director while Roma, shot in luminous black-and-white, became a deeply personal masterpiece that won three Oscars including Best Director again, making Cuarón a two-time winner.
