With ROMA, Cuarón recreated the Mexico City of his childhood, narrating a tumultuous period in the life of a middle-class family through the experiences of Cleo (Yalitza Aparicio, in a revelatory screen debut), the indigenous domestic worker who keeps the household running.pic.twitter.com/mwmEnsYJ20

Charged with the care of four small children abandoned by their father, Cleo tends to the family even as her own life is shaken by personal & political upheavals. Written, directed, shot, and coedited by Cuarón, ROMA is a labor of love with few parallels in the history of cinema.pic.twitter.com/2YyJlJXjLs

Deploying monumental black-and-white cinematography, an immersive soundtrack, and a mixture of professional and nonprofessional performances to shape its author’s memories into a world of enveloping texture, and to pay tribute to the woman who nurtured him.pic.twitter.com/ktih9ncXtg

A one-of-a-kind silver-screen illusionist, Czechoslovak filmmaker Karel Zeman devoted his career to transporting viewers to realms beyond their wildest imagining!pic.twitter.com/U1isrguzRc

Presented here are three of Zeman’s most enchanting fantasies—a boys’ adventure into the mists of prehistory, a Jules Verne–derived flight of fancy, and an exotic eighteenth-century tall tale—all of them treasure chests of wondrous sights and tactile textures.pic.twitter.com/upHL9oRmoz

One of the iconoclastic Pier Paolo Pasolini’s most radical provocations, TEOREMA (1968) finds the auteur moving beyond the poetic, proletarian earthiness that first won him renown and notoriety with a coolly cryptic exploration of bourgeois spiritual emptiness.pic.twitter.com/cY3ochtPFJ

Terence Stamp stars as the mysterious stranger who, one by one, seduces the members of a wealthy Milanese family (including European cinema icons Silvana Mangano, Massimo Girotti, Laura Betti, and Anne Wiazemsky), precipitating an existential crisis in each of their lives.pic.twitter.com/kvkiLsahrU

Unfolding nearly wordlessly in a procession of sacred and profane images, this tantalizing metaphysical riddle—blocked from exhibition by the Catholic Church for degeneracy—is at once a blistering Marxist treatise on sex, religion, and art and a primal scream into the void.pic.twitter.com/t7b4XAnEC9

Where does voguing come from, and what, exactly, is throwing shade? The landmark documentary PARIS IS BURNING (1990) provides a vibrant snapshot of the 1980s through the eyes of New York City’s African American and Latinx Harlem drag-ball scene.pic.twitter.com/5pmWllMXdc

Made over seven years, PARIS IS BURNING offers an intimate portrait of rival fashion “houses,” from fierce contests for trophies to house mothers offering sustenance in a world rampant with homophobia, transphobia, racism, AIDS, and poverty.pic.twitter.com/I0VFaqTNOJ

Featuring legendary voguers, drag queens, and trans women—including Willi Ninja, Pepper LaBeija, Dorian Corey, and Venus Xtravaganza—PARIS IS BURNING brings it, celebrating the joy of movement, the force of eloquence, and the draw of community.pic.twitter.com/LRPB3Rzq20
