Alfonso Cuarón is known for his immersive, immediate, and sensory cinematic experiences. From Children Of Men to Roma, he has established himself as a prominent voice in 21st-century cinema. Now, Cuarón takes on a new challenge with his upcoming Apple TV+ drama, Disclaimer, based on Renée Knight’s novel. This article explores Cuarón’s transition to long-form storytelling and the narrative complexities of the series.
The Vision Behind Disclaimer

Written and directed by Cuarón, the series promises to be a gripping exploration of storytelling.
Narrative Manipulation
