Biutiful hurts. It's a film that points directly to the bowels, and yet has an aesthetic beauty and interpretative that becomes a very human work, which has nod to fantasy represented by the hope of life after death where there is space in which the final redemption is possible. Alejandro
González Iñárritu has shot a film in which the human being is stripped as an emotional entity subscribed to their own circumstances that may not give you access to higher strata in its existence. And yet, despite the context in which it is located, to González Iñárritu man is always in a constant journey in search of what you do beyond, in search of love, in search of redemption. Will succeed or not, it depends on the glass we want to look at this trip, but will fight with all his might to achieve a kind of salvation that gives you a peace that has almost no nature.
The film is set in Barcelona. And if Barcelona is a city as diverse, multicultural, but as this seems to be the best introduction to the other side of the coin we find a city full of immigrants struggling to survive, living in extreme conditions, who live the manufacture of pirated and subhuman conditions. It is a world of betrayal and constant abuse of human beings on the other. And yet, there is this desire for transcendence, that almost morbid desire for change, for improvement. Wild is a context in which it is almost impossible to find a man concerned about his fellow man, capable of risking his own life on the other, able to feel unconditional love for your children, your family, for life itself.
That man's name Uxbal .
Uxbal ( Javier Bardem) is a man who understands that life is just a step a way. Thus maximum concern is to make that road a better, fairer. He faces several crossroads: on one hand you have a terminal cancer that is slowly consuming, it is becoming a human being dependent on others. But how dependent on others, when others, many depend on it? How to prepare for the final travel, when there are too many left on his own life? He is a man tormented by his context, his circumstances, for a city that devours slowly. It is a kind full of love to give while living trapped in a pathetic existence, accompanied by bad luck. It has the "gift" to help people die just to go from this world to the next helping them find peace in the latter way. It is his gift, but at the same time is his curse. He himself knows he will soon have to cross the bridge, but is not ready (really who is? Is what seems to insist the director) and the film shows his struggle to make things as best as possible, their children, with bipolar woman (an extraordinary Maricel Álvarez ) and immigrants with whom they work.
González Iñárritu masterfully tells this journey. Theirs is a camera that gets the most sordid environments to show the drama of daily life in large cities, where indoor confined to groups of human beings in the worst conditions imaginable, spaces in which such death may not be the worst of starts, but the only way to leave the worst of hells. We presented a series of characters confronted with extraordinary situations that represent the fight of his life. And although apparently these stories have no connection whatsoever with that of Uxbal, each of the characters work to better understand the shortcomings and strengths of character, each one will determine the final outcome of the film.
is complex to imagine another actor to step into the boots of Uxbal Javier Bardem. The Gran Canaria has the enormous capacity to reflect various emotions, never losing the essence of the character. Managing your "timing" is remarkable as it seems to have a natural instinct to direct their eyes and recite their dialogue at the right time, with the tone and precise intent. Their representation of Uxbal is so powerful that one immediately feels empathy for the character to the point of feeling the enormous pain that a man feels when urinating blood concern for the fate of their children or the blame for a painful event that is complicit with this to save a few euros. Bardem is understood that before a man whose aim is to reach up to redemption and therefore this path must be full of moments implosive and extremely emotional explosions when the time necessary to display them. I am not afraid to say that we have a great performance today who is the best player in the world.
González Iñárritu Biutiful filmed with a beautiful and painful requiem. Is a film in which death is always present, lurking in every situation, but at the same time is a movie that luck seems to play an important role in a chaotic world, perhaps lucky to find a soul tormented but kind like Uxbal, someone who is able to give life to many people, and at the same time condemn his people to the most terrible of uncertainties. A painful emotional roller coaster in which the darkness seems to illuminate the crossing and the tragedy of a man who inadvertently becomes a hero, a tragic hero but in the end. A guy who will fight against a dramatic reality to forgive, to love and to transcend time.
