Review of Biutiful (2010) by Rich B — 31 Jul 2011
Biutiful (2010) - "Months?" - Uxbal (Javier Bardem).
A father, confronted by mortality, has a chance to tie up loose ends.
"You and I both know that the dead suffer if they leave debts behind." - Bea.
Set in the barrios marginales of Barcelona, Spain, we are up to our neck in Uxbal's life when reality sets in: the world that he'd worked so hard to exploit. This story is about a super-power of a different sort - gritty and potent.
Powerfully played - an amazing cast. Director Alejandro González Inárritu's timing is impeccable.
