Long takes carrying both spectacle and memory. Cuarón builds elaborate unbroken sequences and uses them for action and for autobiography alike, with social hierarchy always legible in the background of the shot.
Signature
- Extended unbroken takes with complex choreography.
- Class and domestic labour visible at the frame's edge.
- Naturalistic light; wide lenses close to the subject.
- Personal memory reconstructed with technical rigour.
