Alfonso Cuarón’s modern masterpiece is set in a dystopian (startlingly) near future, a world in which humans can no longer procreate. Theo, a disillusioned bureaucrat, is tasked with delivering the last pregnant woman in a socially and morally barren society to safety. With mesmerising and immersive long takes, tense set pieces, and a vivid reflection of the evils of our own world, this universal story was made to be appreciated in a communal space, on a big screen.
