Alfonso Cuarón Moves Between Hollywood and the Real World

On Locarno Meets, we're joined by five-time Academy Award winner Alfonso Cuarón, who shared some candid thoughts about his singular career while in Locarno to accept the Festival’s Lifetime Achievement Award. In an in-depth conversation with the podcast host Alex Miller, Cuarón opened up about his new Apple TV series Disclaimer, starring Cate Blanchett, taking breaks from Hollywood with Y tu mamá también and Roma – that allowed him to refresh his practice –, coping with the reality of the world that hasn’t improved much since he made Children of Men almost twenty years ago, and the weight of being known as a visionary artist who also makes blockbusters, like Gravity or Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
