It’s well-directed by Lana and Lilly Wachowski, carefully-edited by Zach Staenberg. No need to beat around the bush: The Matrix (1999) is iconic. It truly stands out among his high-caliber filmography. Starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock, he co-wrote, co-edited, and produced this award-winning film on top of his directorial efforts. It almost transcends the genre just on sheer quality alone - as does Cuarón’s other film of this variety: Gravity (2013). Film students: watch this closely, study its behind-the-scenes subversions and carefully-honed plot. His first foray into the genre came with Children of Men (2006), which has aged just gracefully. He’s known for operating within a wide variety of genres such as fantasy with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) and dramas like Roma (2018), but Cuarón perhaps shines the brightest under a lens that’s focused closely on technology, time travel, space exploration, and, well, you know the rest.
As a two-time Best Director winner at the Academy Awards, Mexican filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón is among the most lauded creatives not just of this list, but throughout Hollywood history.
