Biutiful
Directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu2h 28m2010
This is a story of a man in free fall. On the road to redemption, darkness lights his way. Connected with the afterlife, Uxbal is a tragic hero and father of two who's sensing the danger of death. He struggles with a tainted reality and a fate that works against him in order to forgive, for love, and forever.
Our read: Biutiful (2010) reads as a heavy, measured, grounded drama entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
Heavy, measured, measured drama, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, measured.
