Because its an "art" film. Pretentious directors think it'll make their movies somehow meaningful similar to how certain photographers use black and white thinking it'll make their pictures more deep.

based cuaron making the best pleb filter of the decade

Because it's a period piece. Thanks for asking the provocative questions OP

Did it even have mandatory "reveal one thing in color at the end of the film with high importance" trope?

Get off Yea Forums, Spielberg

It's not, it was shot in color and graded monochrome in post. Digital is cancer, if the director had any conviction whatsoever, they'd shoot on B&W film stock.

are those supposed to be her children? or just the family she serves?

Better than Roma.

Woah whats this from

they still did a lot of shit like designing clothes, painting walls and replacing floor tiles so they looked right on b&w, it wasn't like he just decided to drop the saturation to 0 on post

The Longest Day 1962

Because it's Ready Player One for the Criterion crowd. absolutely inauthentic garbage.

>That scene where an American with a red hat rapes Cleo while screaming "MAGA!" over and over
Cuaron isn't pulling any punches.

pretentiousness

Oscarbaiting

>no genuine criticisms
So this is the power of Yea Forums

>So does Roma really just celebrate Cleo’s simple goodness and selfless dedication to the family? Can she really be reduced to the ultimate love object of a spoiled upper-middle class family, accepted (almost) as part of the family to be better exploited, physically and emotionally? The film’s texture is full of subtle signs which indicate that the image of Cleo’s goodness is itself a trap, the object of implicit critique which denounces her dedication as the result of her ideological blindness. I don’t have in mind here just the obvious dissonances in how the family members treat Cleo: immediately after professing their love for her and talking with her ‘like equals’, they abruptly ask her to do some house job or to serve them something.

Why not?

Set in a time period where color was common in film and television.

Because Pawlikowski made Ida in black and white and Cuarón got envious.
Spoiler: seriously. That's the real reason
