Review of Before Night Falls (2000) by Sasha R — 10 Aug 2007
Seldom, a movie transcends the book. This is one of those few cases... Reinaldo Arenas' character and story are even bigger than Reinaldo Arenas the writer (without taking off his merit as a writer).
Javier Bardem is superb in this performance (to me, he is the greatest actor alife). The exquisite cinematography explicitly reveals the director's former profession (painter) and both the script and montage are magically achieved.
One of my favorite movies of all times...
