There are no car chases, no melodramatic shouting matches, and no clear-cut heroes. The villain is not a single person but a system that perpetuates poverty and corruption. The tension in Ma' Rosa is derived from the mundane: the counting of crumpled bills, the haggling for loans, and the oppressive heat that seems to bake the characters into their dire circumstances.
Cannes jury president George Miller ( Mad Max: Fury Road ) stated that Jose’s performance was chosen because she "made the audience feel every moment of her desperation." She does not play a saint or a villain; she plays a mother. And that specific, unglamorous humanity is what cuts the deepest.
Mendoza utilizes a approach, characteristic of his "cinema of the streets". Ma' Rosa (2016) - IMDb
Because Mendoza’s films are niche arthouse titles, physical media (Blu-ray via UK’s Eureka Entertainment or France’s Carlotta Films) may offer the best quality and special features.
