Biutiful (2010)


☆ ☆ ☆ ☆


Biutiful (2010) – A. G. Inarritu

I haven't been keeping up with Inarritu's films but this way too intense look at a man dying of cancer trying to wrap up his affairs, his very complicated and very depressing affairs, seems to indicate that he has gone to another level. Or perhaps it is Javier Bardem's acting that keeps this aloft? (Although the art direction, filled with reds and greens, and cinematography thereof, is worth a look). Sure, it could have done with some cuts to tighten things up, but Barcelona never looked grimier (I bet) and this deserves the plaudits it has received.
