Alfonso Cuarón To Receive Lifetime Achievement Award At Locarno Film Festival


The Gravity and Roma director is set to be feted at the Swiss festival.

Cuarón is best known for movies including Y Tu Mamá También(2001), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban(2004), Children of Men(2006), Gravity(2013) and Roma(2018). Combining an experimental spirit with the sweep of great popular writers, he has managed to capture the imagination and hearts of millions of viewers, passing on the same wonder that he himself experienced as a child and teenager basking in the glow of classic Mexican cinema. From coming-of-age novels to science fiction, from melodrama to grand sagas like Harry Potter, Alfonso Cuarón has reinvented himself as an artist with each new film, always in the service of the pleasure of cinema, and has thus created a truly multifaceted body of work.”
