REVIEW: Javier Bardem Saves the Overwrought, Overmanipulative Biutiful

Posted on December 28, 2010 by | Leave a comment

The latest entry from the “If it makes you feel terrible, it must be great!” school of filmmaking, Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Biutiful has it all: Charming, intelligent, wholly innocent children who suffer at the hands of their wackadoodle manic-depressive mother. Desperate immigrants who toil away under exploitive working conditions for greedy employers who care more about profits than about human lives. Dead babies. Cancer. Nothing says “Awards Season” like feel-bad cinema, and with Biutiful, Iñárritu hauls out the big guns.

Hellboy II Director Has Harsh Words For ‘Cowardly’ Hollywood Studios

Posted on December 10, 2010 by | Comments Off on Hellboy II Director Has Harsh Words For ‘Cowardly’ Hollywood Studios

I always like to take a little nihilism with my morning coffee, especially on Fridays, when the inky abyss of the weekend sprawls before me with so much self-medicating potential, and when one has finally grown at least a little inured to the thwack of the cultural switch to the raw, riven backs of one’s knees. And ultimately, when you’ve get a dose like today’s — a bleak, bleak diagnosis from filmmaking BFF’ s Alejandro González Iñárritu and Guillermo del Toro — its summoning in part by a hypocrite hardly seems to matter.

And you thought Javier Bardem would have to rely on his postage-required performance in Eat, Pray, Love to get into the Oscar race in 2011. Roadside Attractions and Liddell Entertainment have acquired the U.S. distribution rights to Biutiful , the latest film from Alejandro González Iñárritu, and will release it in December. When the film premiered at Cannes, Movieline called Bardem’s performance one of the ” finest of his career .” Perhaps he should start picking out a tuxedo sooner rather than later.
