Biutiful

2010/ 147 mins/ Spanish w/ English subtitles/ Dir. Alejandro González Iñárritu
Cast: Javier Bardem, Maricel Álvarez

Javier Bardem leads as Uxbal, a conflicted man who struggles to reconcile fatherhood, love, spirituality, crime, guilt and mortality amidst the dangerous underworld of modern Barcelona. His livelihood is earned out of bounds, his sacrifices for his children know no bounds. Like life itself, this is a circular tale that ends where it begins. As fate encircles him and thresholds are crossed, a dim, redemptive road brightens, illuminating the inheritances bestowed from father to child, and the paternal guiding hand that navigates life’s corridors, whether bright, bad – or biutiful.

Biutiful will also be screened as part of our International Oscar® Season 2011. Click here for full details.
