Cuarón takes a lot of time to create his films, but he never misses. (Well, almost never. The exception to the rule is his modern-day adaptation of Dickens' "Great Expectations" with Paltrow.)
Fairytales for children (“The Little Princess” and the best "Harry Potter" film)? Check.
A coming-of-age story set in Mexico (“Y Tu Mamá También”)? Check.
Dystopian sci-fi (“Children of Men”)? Check.
Astronauts stuck in space ("Gravity")? Check.
A biographical story about his family's maid that tackles the Corpus Christi massacre? Check.
Most directors have a constant in their films.
Some technical thingies and his preoccupation with privilege and class awareness aside, Cuarón doesn't. Not really.
Had someone hidden the credits from the audience, it would not have been easy to tell that the creators of "Roma" and "Prisoner of Azkaban" are one and the same person.
And darling, we will be fine; but what was yours and mine
Appears to me a sandcastle
That the gibbering wave takes
But if it's all just the same, then will you say my name;
Say my name in the morning, so that I know when the wave breaks.

"We’ve had certain offers to reenact certain scenes of Y tu mamá también"
This is the video that goes with @gael-garcia's popular gifset , although it continues past the end of the gifset.
Gael García Bernal, Diego Luna and Carlos Cuarón in conversation at the Apple Store in SoHo as part of Apple's Meet the Filmmaker series in 2009, promoting Rudo y Cursi.
You can listen to the official full audio (just over an hour), but an audience member also recorded around nine minutes of video - this discussion about working together, offers Gael and Diego received after Y tu mamá también, and the shower scenes in Rudo y Cursi, takes up the second half of the video (first half is here).
Everyone talks over each other and interrupts (although not quite as much as in the other video clip) so I've given each speaker their own line in the subtitles.
