The problem was first spotted in December by Jordi Soler, a Mexican author who lives in Barcelona. Netflix would not answer questions about its use of Castilian for “Roma” or other films and TV shows it buys from Latin America. (Those closed captions have been available since the film was released there.) These feature the Mexican-Spanish dialogue in its original form. The only form of subtitles now available for the Spanish dialogue in Spain are closed captions - the form that benefits those who are hard of hearing or deaf.

‘Drive My Car’: In this quiet Japanese masterpiece, a widower travels to Hiroshima to direct an experimental version of Chekhov’s “Uncle Vanya.”Ĭuarón would not comment for this article, but Bebe Lerner, his representative, said in a telephone interview that Cuarón told Netflix to change the subtitles as soon as he learned of them after an event in New York on Tuesday night.

‘Passing’: Set in the 1920s, the movie centers on two African American women, friends from childhood, who can and do present as white.

‘Spencer’: Kristen Stewart stars as an anguished, rebellious Princess Diana in Pablo Larraín’s answer to “The Crown.”.

‘Summer of Soul’: Stevie Wonder, Mahalia Jackson, Mavis Staples and others shine in Questlove’s documentary about the Harlem Cultural Festival.
