Directed by Alfonso Cuarón and starring Sandra Bullock and AFI Life Achievement Award honoree George Clooney, GRAVITY (2013) was honored with an AFI AWARD, recognizing it as one of the year’s most outstanding achievements in the art of the moving image. According to the official rationale, “GRAVITY holds audiences with the power of a force of nature. Reaching skyward with pioneering ambition, Alfonso Cuarón paints with a canvas so vast and visuals so breathtaking, that the film instantly rockets into the heavens of unforgettable achievements. A theatrical spectacle humbling beyond words, it is at its core a human drama that floats between wonder and terror, with a beating heart provided by two of America’s brightest stars – Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. Bullock’s lead role is so deeply felt and epic in emotion that we stand with her at film’s end, grateful to have experienced one helluva ride.”
