Great film - not Hollywood fodder. I see Pat recommends it too- I wonder what effect one of the most poignant scenes, accompanied by Ravel’s piano concerto, slow movement, had on him - it melted me! Has anyone seen it? |

I saw it and I too thought that Javier
was great, not so the movie. I watch a
lot of indie movies and have a lot of
patience but I thought the movie was
far too long and that so many scenes
could have been edited out which
would have made the story flow
smoother. I also could have done
without the "communicating with the
dead" scenes of the movie. It was too
much, that could have been another
movie in itself. If I wasn’t with a friend
I would have walked out.

Hi ’Tiny Tim’ glad you share my views - seems like nobody else has seen it or liked Biutiful?
Or maybe it’s the subtitles and non-Hollywood aspect. Well, at least Pat went to see it and appreciated it.

Hi Peter, sure have seen it. Javier Bardem gives extreme credence to his charatcer, and an outstanding performance. Would not say the film was as high up there, but close, with Iñárritu’s ’21 Grams’, ’Amores Perros’, or ’Babel’. Guillermo Arriaga was not the screenwriter of Biutiful. Correct, the music for the film was spot on. Especially that sceen you mention. A hard film, touching at moments, never sentimentally Hollywood-ish. A must see.
