Biutiful (2010)

Director:   Alejandro Gonzalez Inaritu
Writers:    Alejandro Gonzalez Inaritu, Nicolas Giacabone, Armando Bo
Language: Spanish
Biutiful coming after Babel is kind of inverse of it. In Babel, Inaritu had many characters of various nationalities residing mainly in their own countries and have the stories interconnected somehow between all of them. In Biutiful he has all of the characters in Barcelona itself and story is mainly focussed on Javier Bardem's character, unlike other Inaritu films till date where there is no particular focus. The film is shot vibrantly and Bardem as usual comes up with a strong performance. The film is on the depressing side and some people would think its too bleak for their liking and bit too long. For me it was an almost perfect film and would rank as my favorite Inaritu film along with '21 Grams'.

Rating: 4.5/5
