Three Mexican directors, Alfonso Cuarón, Alejandro González Iñárritu, and Guillermo del Toro, have between them won the Best Director Oscar six times this century, and the industry underneath them is just as strong.
01 
02 A class-uprising thriller that escalates from a wedding into total societal collapse.
03 A rural drama that folds an alien-horror subplot into small-town repression.
04 A black-and-white road movie following students during a real university strike.
05 A priest's affair used to indict the church, controversial enough to draw Vatican criticism.
06 A magical-realist romance where every dish the heroine cooks carries her emotions.
07 A four-country ensemble drama, with its Mexican border segment among the strongest.
08 A road-trip comedy that turns unexpectedly melancholy about class and mortality.
09 Three overlapping stories connected by one car crash, brutal and tightly structured.
10 A black-and-white memory piece about the domestic worker who raised Cuarón's own family.
