ROMA (a small town in Mexico)

  ROMA is directed by Alfonso Cuaron, a well-established Director.  Basically, the maid
in charge of  3 boys and 1 girl  is the focal point of this picture.  There is a pregnancy, then
a dead baby amidst the slowness of the story.  There are great crowd scenes as the film
picks up its pace gradually.  There is a Super Long "take" at the beach... one shot where
the maid saves two kids... and she does not know how to swim.  That one long take
saves the picture.  Incredible.  It will be nominated for an Oscar; it may win, but
don't count on it.  Flip a coin.  50-50 chance of winning.
   By the way, if this is part of Cuaron's "young life,"  which one is he?
