Pedro Almodovar on ‘Roma’: ‘The Best Film of the Year’ (Exclusive)
Madrid — Pedro Almodóvar made an appearance last night in Madrid to present “Roma” to industry members and friends at a private screening held by Netflix.
“It’s the best film of the year,” Almodóvar said calling “Roma” “two hours from a master that sweep spectators away.”
Almodovar joins an early crescendo of support for Alfonso Cuaron’s Venice Golden Lion winner which swept the New York Film Critics Circle Awards last Thursday, winning best film, director and cinematography, the last also for Cuarón.
In another high-profile endorsement in October, Guillermo del Toro presented “Roma” at October’s 56th New York Film Festival, “the culmination of Alfonso’s career so far.”
He added: “When I first saw the movie, I said to him, ‘This is not only your best movie, it’s one of my top five movies of all time. But don’t get big-headed: it’s number five.”
