This is my new favorite movie. I have not had a new favorite movie, apart from some brief flirtations, since 1987 when Burden of Dreams came out. From the beginning Biutiful reminded me of what Tree of Life could have been, had that film been actually good.
Here is the last scene, dubbed into Italian, but still. By Alejandro González Iñárritu, with Javier Bardem in whom I had not been interested before. I am impressed. Is it too sentimental and simple and vague, do you think? I don’t, really, but I am curious as to your views.
Axé.
