The story follows Theo Faron, a cynical bureaucrat who is kidnapped by the "Fishes," a militant immigrant-rights group led by his ex-wife, Julian. She asks him to use his government connections to secure transit papers for a young refugee named Kee. Theo agrees, but after Julian is unexpectedly killed in an ambush, he discovers the real reason Kee needs to escape: she is miraculously pregnant, the first pregnant woman on Earth in 18 years.

We're in 2027 with Alfonso Cuarón to talk a dystopian classic. John, Westy, and Matt dive into the story of how Cuarón created one of cinema's most visually stunning achievements - a film that turned a difficult-to-adapt novel into a breathtaking technical marvel. From those legendary long takes (yes, including that car scene) to Clive Owen's career-best performance (YMMV), we explore how Cuarón and cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki revolutionised action filmmaking. How did they pull off shots that shouldn't be possible? Why does the world-building feel so unnervingly real? And can humanity ever truly find hope in hopelessness?Telling the story of Hollywood, one film at a time.Connect with ATRM: To join our fantastic community of film fans, support what we do, access our archive, listen to exclusive episodes, and a whole lot more, become an ATRM patron:Join the ATRM Community We're available on any podcast platform:Listen on Apple PodcastsListen on SpotifyYouTube: Subscribe to our channelWe're across all major social channels too:Twitter: @ATRightMoviesInstagram: @allthe_rightmovies Facebook: Join our movie groupBluesky: @alltherightmovies.comTikTok: @alltherightmoviesWebsite: alltherightmovies.com
Alfonso Cuaron's "Children of Men" (2006) is enjoying a renaissance not only for its aesthetic qualities, but also its prescience. In the 2000s, overpopulation was still being discussed, and immigration wasn't the major topic. A post-racial America was declared, but ultimately dismissed. Taking place in 2027, "Children of Men" depicts refugees, fascism and domestic repression, a fertility crisis, Islam-as-rebellion, and a post-racial world in 2027, where one's place of birth is the great hierarchy. In ArtiFact #66, filmmaker Alex Sheremet and critic Keith Jackewicz tackle Alfonso Cuaron and his artistic philosophy.

Schickt Hilfe, die Affen sind los: Wie viel Spaß macht SEND HELP? Wie affig ist PRIMATE? Und was steckt hinter dem Titel ACH, DIESE LÜCKE, DIESE ENTSETZLICHE LÜCKE? Das wollen Schlogger, Wolf und Schröck heute eigentlich recht schnell ergründen. Es haut nur eigentlich mal wieder nicht so ganz hin. Immerhin geht es nämlich auch noch um LOST HIGHWAY, der wieder aufgeführt wird, was die beiden David Lynch-Ultras names Wolf und Schröck natürlich auch nicht so ganz umkommentiert stehen lassen können. Plus: diverse Streaming- und Mediatheken-Tipps, die auch noch das eine oder andere Wort verdienen. Selbst wenn wir sie noch nicht gesehen haben. Demzufolge geht es unter anderem um THE WRECKING CREW, um Irgendwie-schon-irgendwie-nicht-Episodenfilm FREAKY TALES, eine Doku namens ELON MUSK UNCOVERED: DAS TESLA-EXPERIMENT oder die Neuauflage von DIE NACKTE KANONE. Gefolgt von spaßiger Hochgeschwindigkeitszug-Action durch BULLET TRAIN, tollem Kino in Form von BIS DANN, MEIN SOHN, CHILDREN OF MEN oder THE HURT LOCKER und einer weiteren Doku mit dem Titel IN SEARCH OF TOMORROW, die auf jeden Fall brauchbar dafür ist die Watchlist anzufüllen. Falls wir das mit dieser hoffentlich kurzweiligen Folge nicht schon ohnehin geschafft haben. Bleibt uns nur, Euch viel Spaß damit zu wünschen, wie eben auch, dass ihr so gesund wie gut drauf bleibt oder noch eine schöne Restwoche habt. In diesem Sinne: Adieu.

In Episode 66, We welcome Diana Porter, who has more than 50 IMDb acting credits and a growing footprint in the sci-fi thriller space. We talk about her newest short film, THE REWIND, which she co-wrote, co-directed, and stars in. Diana walks me through the film's concept, the emotional core of the story, the production design choices, and what it's like balancing acting and directing on the same project. We also get into her path from analyst to working actor, her unexpected stunt-double experience for Christina Hendricks, the festival she founded in Massachusetts, and her creative partnership with filmmaker Michael Whistler. Later in the episode, Diana shares two film moments that have stayed with her: the heartbreaking telegram scene in A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN and the unforgettable long takes and emotional ceasefire in CHILDREN OF MEN.

Neue Auswahl, neue Verbesserungen: wir reden wieder über die 100 BESTEN FILME DES 21. JAHRHUNDERTS, die von der NEW YORK TIMES ermittelt wurden. Diesmal über die Liste der Leser. Und wieder gibt es eine Menge zwischen Andi, Eddy und Schröck zu diskutieren. Zum Beispiel, warum CHILDREN OF MEN rausgeworfen oder behalten werden soll. Oder warum Filme wie SICARIO, WARRIOR, SIN CITY, DER PIANIST, SNATCH - SCHWEINE UND DIAMANTEN wie auch CASINO ROYALE in diese Auflistung gehören. Dass trotz aller Ablehnung eines Etienne Gardé auch GODZILLA MINUS ONE auf die Liste gehört. Und welche Filme den Einzug in unser Projekt nur knapp verpasst haben. Gefolgt von weiteren Gesprächen zu WATCHMEN, ANCHORMAN - DIE LEGENDE VON RON BURGUNDY oder A TAXI DRIVER wie auch über TREE OF LIFE, den Dauerbrenner BARBIE, das Krimi-Dinner KNIVES OUT, SINNERS, LITTLE WOMAN oder BRIDESMAIDS. Inklusive der einen oder anderen - wie soll es auch anders sein? - Abzweigung in die eine oder andere Richtung. Und natürlich abgerundet von dem, was die Drei zuletzt gesehen haben. Zum Beispiel MOUNTAINHEAD, BABY FACE, LUPIN III - DER HÖLLENTRIP, aber eben auch FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS, den gerade Andi und Eddie dann noch mal aus ihrer Sicht schildern und bewerten. Wir hoffen, damit lässt es sich gut ins Wochenende starten und wünschen Euch erstmal ein schönes, aber dann eben auch viel Spaß auf der Couch, im Kino und selbstverständlich auch mit KINO+.

ONE OF THE GREAT SCI-FI FILMS OF OUR TIME!! Children of Men Full Reaction Watch Along: / thereelrejects Save & Invest In Your Future Today, visit: https://www.acorns.com/rejects Children of Men Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! Join Roxy Striar & John Humphrey as they plunge into Alfonso Cuarón's haunting dystopia Children of Men (2006). In a world where human infertility has led to societal collapse, disillusioned bureaucrat Theo Faron (Clive Owen, Sin City, The Bourne Ultimatum) is roped into escorting Kee (Clare-Hope Ashitey, Africa United, Resident Evil), a miraculously pregnant refugee, to safety. Along the way, they're shadowed by Julian Taylor (Julianne Moore, Boogie Nights, Still Alice), the fierce former activist intent on safeguarding humanity's last hope, and pressured by militant enforcer Luke (Chiwetel Ejiofor, 12 Years a Slave, Doctor Strange). Veteran activist Jasper Palmer (Michael Caine, The Dark Knight, The Cider House Rules) provides crucial refuge—and the film's bleak, immersive vision of 2027 Britain is punctuated by stunning long-take set pieces: the devastating car ambush, the desperate street massacre in the refugee camp, and the epic Bexhill Beach battle shot in one continuous, unbroken shot. Don't miss Roxy & John's breakdown of these iconic scenes, the film's relentless tension, and its powerful themes of hope, redemption, and the fight for humanity's future!

Sean and Amanda return to continue their yearlong project of listing the 25 best movies of the 21st century so far. Today, they discuss Alfonso Cuarón's ‘Children of Men,' a deeply upsetting 2006 apocalyptic thriller starring Clive Owen and Julianne Moore, which features some of the most emotionally moving image-making of all time. They explore how this film altered the trajectory of Cuarón's “shapeshifter” filmmaking career, celebrate Owen's amazing physical performance, and revisit the Academy's baffling decision not to honor the film with a single Academy Award.

As laid out in Episode 4, David will be doing deep dives into movies, TV shows, and books that have to do with anthropology and dogs in the apocalypse. In this episode, David does a deep dive on a film called “Children of Men” directed by Alfonso Cuarón.Children of Men explores a near-future where men and women have become infertile, and no one is able to reproduce. In this story, dogs play a role in substituting for children, which is uniquely explored in the film through its cinematography.Some of the things David discusses are the plot Summary, key themes, the role of dogs as surrogates for children, and Cuaron's cinematic techniques and world-building,Transcripts For rough transcripts of this episode go to https://www.archpodnet.com/ethnocynology/10Links: davidianhowe.com Davidianhowe.com/storeArchPodNet APN Website: https://www.archpodnet.com APN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnet APN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnet APN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnet Tee Public Store: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/archaeology-podcast-network?ref_id=5724Affiliates Motion

DISCLAIMER editor, Adam Gough ACE, BFE began his journey with director Alfonso Cuarón over eighteen years ago as an editorial trainee on Cuarón's CHILDREN OF MEN (2006). In 2018, Adam would co-edit Cuarón's ROMA, alongside the writer/director. This long-standing collaboration has evolved over time, reflecting the trust and synergy they've built together, leading to Adam working as the sole editor on Cuaron's first TV series, DISCLAIMER. For a project that would end up spanning two years, assembling a reliable and passionate editorial team was crucial to Gough. Aiming to bring on individuals who were eager to step up in their roles and commit to the project's duration, his team's unwavering dedication was pivotal in navigating the intense workload they would endure. From the onset, Adam was aware of DISCLAIMER's magnitude—boasting 670 script pages that were ultimately condensed into seven episodes. The complexity wasn't just in the volume but in its narrative structure as well. Using color-coded scripts and scene cards, the editorial team was effectively able to navigate the shifting perspectives and multiple narrators that took place throughout the series.

Oscar-nominated writer and director Timothy Reckart rejoins the podcast to discuss a movie that has a marked resonance with the Nativity story, Alfonso Cuaron's brilliantly crafted dystopian thriller Children of Men. Set in 2027, it depicts a world that has fallen into despair and chaos because of a worldwide infertility crisis: no one has been able to have a baby in eighteen years. The film, made in 2006, depicts a future England looks in many ways like today's: childlessness, terrorism, and state-provided euthanasia. In the midst of all this, jaded protagonist Theo (Clive Owen) is given the task of secretly escorting a young refugee woman to the coast - and then discovers that she is pregnant.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 99 - ALFONSO CUARÓN - WRITER / DIRECTOR Writer and director Alfonso Cuarón (ROMA, CHILDREN OF MEN, Y TU MAMÁ TAMBIÉN) joins us on this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast to talk about his career and about filmmaking. Growing up in Mexico, Alfonso sought solace in the cinema, and he crewed and assisted on documentaries around the country throughout his youth, setting the foundation for his visual sensibilities by studying the photography of Ansel Adams and observing a DP manipulate natural light to shoot vegetables. After directing his first feature, Alfonso was brought to Hollywood by director Sydney Pollack to work on an episode of the anthology series FALLEN ANGELS, and Alfonso recalls for us his encouraging conversation with actor Alan Rickman that helped him overcome the petrifying pressure of shooting within the Hollywood machine. Alfonso later shares how director Guillermo del Toro convinced him to helm the third HARRY POTTER film, and he reveals which elements of the franchise he pushed to evolve and change. Alfonso also reflects on his relationship with visual effects, and we discuss why prep and bringing one's collaborators into one's process brings out the best in any film. Towards the end, Alfonso reflects on his experiences working on his upcoming limited series and shares his fear that television, not cinema, is the one conquering the other; however, despite this fear, we discuss the past, present, and potential future of filmmaking through an optimistic lens. - This episode is sponsored by Aputure
