Review of The Sea Inside (2004) by John Raymond J — 14 Jun 2013
One does not simply miss this film. Javier Bardem plays his role with sufficient dash of melodrama and finesse. Alejandro Amenábar's direction captures the entirety of the storyline. Yes, it brings much focus to the protagonist but it does not left the other characters to the sidelines.
Well-written screenplay. Exceptional performances from Lola Dueñas and Tamar Novas. It is disappointing that Bardem wasn't nominated for the Best Actor tilt in the Academy Awards. Winning 14 Goya Awards and the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, The Sea Inside (2004) is not only a heart-wrenching story of life and the lack thereof.
More so, it is a story of how life should be lived despite one's unfaltering decision to willfully die (*insert classic arguments on euthanasia here*) Beyond doubt, a must-watch. :).
