CHILDREN OF MEN (2006) is Director Alfonso Cuarón's gloomy sci-fi masterpiece set 18 years after all women have suddenly and inexplicably become infertile. Whilst the rest of the planet is shaken by the death of the youngest person on Earth, Theo (Clive Owen) finds himself reluctantly drawn into escorting Kee (Claire-Hope Ashitey) who might be carrying humanity's last flicker of hope through an England divided by a refugee crisis and an austere authoritarian government. Gripping and grim in equal measure, Cuarón and cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki conjure up a rich and textured world as a backdrop to a plot ripe with biblical allegory and commentary about our relationship to communities in crisis. Never less than captivating from the first frame until the bleak and barely optimistic ending and featuring several virtuoso sequences of incredible action film making, the verisimilitude of the world-building and its authenticity makes this one of my favourite movies of the noughties. As Cris puts it, if you haven't seen it this you should rectify that immediately and if you have, you need to watch it again.We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it.

Children of Men, a prescient dystopian science-fiction drama asks a simple question. If human beings couldn't reproduce, what would happen to the world? Director Alfonso Cuarón made, what I consider his masterpiece, in 2006 and yet it's never felt more resonant, or prescient, than it does today. This is a movie that hasn't aged a day, and probably never will. It's a bleak, grim look at a dystopian not-too-distant future, loosely based on P.D. James original novel The Children of Men. While I have a minor gripe about one of the changes from book to screen, overall I truly believe Children of Men is a movie everyone needs to see. With breathtaking long takes and special effects, thought-provoking imagery and the harsh realisation that pretty much all of this movie has come (or is coming) true Children of Men remains one of those remarkable movies that just didn't seem to find an audience back in 2006. Let's change that. I would love to hear your thoughts on Children of Men! GET IN TOUCH....

Episode 171: The Crew's wandering a world without children as they review, Children of Men. It's a different kind of apocalyptic film; the world ends with a whimper, not a big budget bang. Director Alfonso Cuarón packs lots of social commentary (Immigration, Police State) in his world where women stop having babies, but don't worry... it doesn't get in the way of a great chase thriller. The film wasn't a box office hit, but is now considered to be one of the greatest sci-fi films. BMW Films “The Hire”. An 8 part short film series starring Clive Owen. Ambush directed by John Frankenheimer. If you like our music intro, head over to Soundcloud and hear more amazing music from aquariusweapon. Aquariusweapon can also be found on YouTube.

Dave and I saw a truly outstanding film this weekend, and although it breaks the rules for our podcast, we really wanted to talk about it. The film was ROMA. Director Alfonso Cuarón takes us into his childhood in the Colonia Roma neighborhood of Mexico City. Told from the perspective of the beloved nanny who helped raise him and his siblings, this film is gorgeous from first shot to last, and it is all the things a film should be: engaging, evocative, deeply moving, and most of all profoundly human.

Director Alfonso Cuarón discusses his film, Roma, with fellow director Alejándro G. Iñárritu. Set in the early 1970s, the film recalls Mr. Cuarón's own upbringing in the middle-class neighborhood of Roma in Mexico City, and serves as a love letter to the women who raised him during a time of domestic strife and social hierarchy.
