Whilst it’s not out in cinemas until the 28th of January here in Old Blighty (they like to tease and keep us waiting don’t they?), the fact that it is showcasing at the London Film Festival next week means it’s my news of the day. The domestic trailer for Alejandro González Iñárritu‘s (director of Amores Perros, 21 Grams, and Babel) new film Biutiful has been released, and boy does it live up to expectations, or so the trailer suggests…
Amores Perros and 21 Grams (Babel wasn’t a favourite of mine) are those types of movies that are capable of giving you ‘the haunt’. You know, that feeling you get after watching a film where you just can’t shake it out of your head, like it could have really struck a chord somewhere inside (deep, eh?). Iñárritu genius way of directing allows you to really feel the beauty of the movie, not just see and hear it, and his newest project looks set to continue that successful pattern.
Javier Bardem seems to have lost the bowl cut of No Country For Old Men, and the suave hippy vibe of Eat, Love, Pray and instead has donned his ‘I’m a broken down man’ look for this role, and it certainly has paid off. He managed to scoop the coveted Best Actor Award at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. In Biutiful he plays a broken man struggling to be a father, lover and a criminal, and the plot is centred around, plainly and simply, his life. It’s sure to be a moving, possibly tear jerking (if you’re a crier like me) flick of seismic proportions.
