''Roma” by Alfonso Cuaròn will be awarded the "Best Film in a Foreign Language” prize at the 23rd edition of  ''Capri, Hollywood - The International Film Festival''. The announcement was made by Lina Wertmuller, honorary chairperson of the Istituto Capri nel Mondo, promoting the event in association with the Cinema Department of the Italian Ministry of Culture  and the Campania Region.
“This was a unanimous choice – says the Roman filmmaker – because “Roma” a formally perfect and extremely intense film, tells a wonderful and moving story that has literally mesmerized us. A film full of love and dignity, a kind of Mexican version of Fellini’s “Amarcord” celebrating the generosity of women and offering us a political and historical overview of a wondrous Country, full of contradictions and social contrasts. Cuaron’s ingenuity is close to Fellini’s and many other great masters of European cinema”.
'We are deeply honored to screen “Roma” at ''Capri, Hollywood'' because this deeply inspired and powerful film will make the history of cinema” adds Pascal , founder and producer  of the Festival while announcing the 29^th December tribute with the special screening of ''Roma'' on the big screen of the Cinema Paradiso in  Anacapri.

The film, distributed by Netflix and winner of the Golden Lion at the 75th Venice Film Festival has been nominated to three Golden Globes (Best director, best screenplay, best film in a foreign language) and is among the “favorite” in the race to the great international awards of 2019. The director of ''Gravity”, who went back to film in his Country after 16 years, will be among one of the undisputed protagonists of the award season. Alfonso Cuaròn was the first Mexican filmmaker in the history to win the Oscar and the Director Guild of America Award.
