7) Roma (2018) – Mexico City, Mexico

Roma turns Mexico City into a deeply personal backdrop. The narrow streets, bustling neighborhoods, and intimate spaces feel authentic to 1970s life. Scenes like Cleo washing clothes while the family drama unfolds around her show how the city’s rhythms shape her quiet resilience. The social and economic divides are clear in moments like the family’s beach trip, contrasting their world with Cleo’s. Mexico City feels lived-in and reflective of the era, grounding the story in its emotional and cultural depth.
