Roma

Martin McDonagh's Wild Horse Nine is being written up everywhere as the frontrunner, on the strength of a standing ovation nobody can source and an awards conversation about a different prize entirely — while two films in the same competition are rated higher.

Lynne Ramsay calls Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma a modern classic, praising its technical brilliance and deep influence on her approach to storytelling.

Diego Luna opens up about why he’s not interested in a sequel to Y tu mamá también, reflecting on the film’s unique place in time and the risks of revisiting beloved classics.
