Spain, Mexico, 2010 (Biutiful) Director: Alejandro González Iñárritu with Javier Bardem, Karra Elejalde, Blanca Portillo, Rubén Ochandiano 147 Min
tried Given his early cancer death in Barcelona Uxbal clean up his past life. Between honorable intentions, good hearts and crooked business takes care of the first man to illegal workers, his two children and ex-wife. While the desperate efforts of weary in a disaster, but the poetic and spiritual film by Alejandro González Iñárritu ("Amores perros", "21 Grams," "Babel") its Javier Bardem impressively plays the main character leads to a conciliatory end.
Between the worlds - a description often better suited to a character: Uxbal (Javier Bardem) speaks with the dead and he himself is already half dead. His cancer leaves him not much time. Therefore Uxbal will do much to worry about many things. And there is much to can take care of a man in Barcelona. There are black Africans without residence permits, which are mediated by Uxbal for money and then exploited by Chinese traffickers. But Uxbal they want to ensure decent accommodation and living conditions. So he negotiated with the Chinese, bribes the police and talk to your friends with the illegals.
Because the bipolar mother Marambra (Maricel Álvarez) can offer them no good home, must Uxbal between the chemotherapy again to his two children, Ana and Mateo care. And the love of Marambra continues to burn, although it was very destructive in the past. Thus, the serious, quiet man in a moment is extremely affectionate, sometimes very annoyed. Then there are the voices from the other world from the afterlife to be in the Uxbal in some weeks. And long he has still not good and ill-gotten money saved to help his children their future.
"Biutiful" is a special kind, "beautiful" to write in English and a special kind of beauty. Without touching any kitsch is the ratio of men to their children, especially to the older daughter, Ana. About Sensual Uxbals are the phenomena in the mirror or an encounter with his self that hangs like a spider on the ceiling. But that was hanging all free of horror, but rather filled in poetic images with the fear of the unknown, "passing over" before.
In Cannes, the criticism on the fact that Alejandro González Iñárritu ("Amores perros") not as in his globalization of feeling "Babel" or has in the debt-Puzzle "21 Grams" intertwined various narrative threads. On the one hand, the same shallow arguments would criticize a repetition of this scheme. Moreover, one could also say, mix in the figure Uxbals more different strands than in the previous figures Films. This Barcelona - in its streets free from tourism a leading actor of the film - is also so globalized that it requires no exotic parallel sets. Then let "Biutiful" in the flow of the story are somewhat conventional - characters, visions, feelings, and the unusual means there are not, if the poetic framework conciliatory to the farewell Uxbals closes, completed the great experience of this haunting film
