Much as with Bong Joon Ho, Netflix has been quick to crack open its wallet to offer opportunities to great filmmakers, backing their work with cinema runs and awards season campaigns Alfonso Cuarón's semi-autobiographical story of 1970s life in Mexico city saw him trading the magic and space milieu of the films he made before this for stark realism and a keen eye for little details. The result won three Oscars from a nomination crop of 10.
