I haven’t much cared for any of Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s films, since his assured debut, Amoros Perros, a film I loved! His last 2 titles, Babel and 21 Grams, were pretentious, bleak bores… to me anyway… albeit pretty, pretentious, bleak bores that mimicked the structure of Perros, but lacked its revelatory punch.
4 years post Babel, he’s back with a film called Biutiful, whick looks like another pretty picture, with an international cast that includes Senegalese actors Cheikh Ndiaye & Diaryatou Daff, Nigerian George Chibuikwem Chukwuma, and others, all starring alongside Javier Bardem. The film divided critics when it debuted at Cannes earlier this year, with Focus Features picking up USA distribution rights to it.
The film’s synopsis, courtesy of Cannes: Biutiful is the story of Uxbal. Devoted father. Tormented lover. Mystified son. Underground businessman. Friend of the disposed. Ghost seeker. Spiritual sensitive. A survivor at the invisible margins in today’s Barcelona.
