On this episode of Adjust Your Tracking, Joe and I once again find ourselves gushing over Netflix movies. My oh my, how things have changed this year! We can’t deny the pleasures of “The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs” (Playlist review here) which, even though it may be mid-tier Coen Brothers (mileage will vary for all of course), is still a lot of fun and another feather in the cap of Netflix’ recent, bold partnerships with great auteur filmmakers. Speaking of which, holy cow, “Roma” is so great!
Oscar winner Alfonso Cuaron‘s latest film (Playlist review here) is another reminder that he’s easily one of the great living filmmakers of our time. This stunner is set in the 1970s Mexico of his memories, telling a deeply intimate, personal story about a nanny to a middle class family that is so specific but universal in its approach and immersive filmmaking. It’s a stunner, and not to be missed. See it in theaters, if you can. But Does Netflix really care about the theatrical performance? We discuss!
