Nearly two months after its initial release on Netflix and in select theaters, Roma—Alfoso Cuarón's just-about-universally praised drama—is coming to Portland in 70mm. The film will play at the Hollywood Theatre from Fri Feb 2-Sun Feb 4.

This is just the latest development in what's been a... unique release pattern for the film. Distributed by Netflix, the film was primarily made available via the streaming service, but at the same time, it also played theatrically in select markets, including Portland. During that initial release, film critics (including me!) were super obnoxious about how you just had to see Roma not at home, but in a good theater—

*pushes up glasses*

because its phenomenal sound and picture really do benefit from the inimitable theatrical experience

*gets wedgie, gets stuffed in a locker*

—but even then, there was yet another way to see it: A few exceedingly rare 70mm film screenings, which Cuarón hyped up as "for sure the most organic way to experience Roma," since 70mm shows "unique details not available on any other version. Being shot in 65mm, these prints bring live detail and contrast only possible using a big format film."

The end result was a flurry of mixed messaging, with some viewers left confused as to where and how they were "supposed" to see the "best" version of Roma. (All this was heaven, meanwhile, for bickering film dweebs, who live for insufferable debates like these.) On the upside, there were multiple ways to see Cuarón's remarkable film; on the downside, the discussion over how to see Roma sometimes overshadowed discussions about the film itself.

Chances are, if you're a film buff, or a Cuarón fan, or someone who tries to win your office's annual Oscars pool, you've already seen Roma, one way or another. But if you haven't—or if, like me, you've already seen it and just want to experience it again—this 70mm booking is an opportunity you shouldn't miss. It'll look and sound fantastic. But it's also worth remembering that ultimately, the important thing is just that people see Roma, however they're able. Roma is a bright and sad and thrilling and heartbreaking thing, and no matter how you see it, you'll be better off for having done so.
