Biutiful

The pairing of Alejandro González Iñárritu and Javier Bardem gives us an incredible powerful drama.

The film Biutiful tracks the movements of natives and immigrants, particularly the Chinese who run a sweat factory and the Africans who sell on the street the merchandise made in the factory. The central character is a well-intentioned man, Uxbal whose health is getting worse. We follow the film from his perspective.

This is a powerful moving story with many themes going on that critique the society we live in and raises very important questions.
