“I’ve always known who Alfonso Cuarón is, anyone who went to film school in the last 20 years knows who he is. To see somebody who can make ‘Gravity’ on such a large scale, apply that same aesthetic to a very intimate story. And to a story that’s about his home country, his home life. That’s what cinema should be. He’s acquired all these tools making these massive films, and then he uses those same tools to tell another massive film, but it’s massive here [points to heart] and not on the moon or in outer space.”— Barry Jenkins on his favorite film of the year, Roma

Dear Catherine, I’ve been sitting here thinking about all the things I wanted to apologize to you for. All the pain we caused each other. Everything I put on you. Everything I needed you to be or needed you to say. I’m sorry for that. I’ll always love you ‘cause we grew up together and you helped make me who I am. I just wanted you to know there will be a piece of you in me always, and I’m grateful for that. Whatever someone you become, and wherever you are in the world, I’m sending you love. You’re my friend to the end. Love, Theodore.
Her (2013) dir. Spike Jonze
