Using underwater photography and all manner of contraptions, Cuarón and his cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki – who has also worked with the likes of Terrence Malick and the Coen Brothers – have something Oscar-worthy on their hands.
Set entirely in space, the thriller sees George Clooney and Sandra Bullock battling to survive following a catastrophic accident during a space walk.
