Publisher Description
"Biutiful" has been Academy Award-nominated for best foreign language film as well as for best actor, Javier Bardem. The movie is in a good position to win the foreign language award, but Bardem, who won for supporting actor for "No Country For Old Men" in 2008, will watch Colin Firth receive the best actor honor for "The King's Speech" this year. Bardem is superb in "Biutiful," a multi-layered drama in which he plays a low-level criminal who lives and operates in the seamier neighborhoods of Barcelona. This is not the Barcelona of the tourist posters, of the mythical architecture of Antoni Gaudi, or the turquoise-hued Mediterranean Sea. This is a Barcelona of harsh realities. It's ugly, dirty, and falling apart.
