"Biutiful " ? you said "Biutiful"?
In curious spectator, who loves life and the movies, you will definitely want to go see this English film (Inarritu, however mexiciain) whose handsome actor Xavier Bardem , has been awarded Cannes, but remember this adage, too often found a prize at Cannes in depressed means you, Nice or elsewhere!
lovers atmosphere that Zola, in any form of realism in cinema and film shocks are unlikely to be disappointed because there is not one square centimeter "blue sky", figuratively, in this "long" film ... And it is true that this film seems long: life miserable, rotten neighborhoods of Barcelona, is a leper, dirty, unhealthy.
Men, women and children are zombies left behind in a world relentlessly inhuman because of shenanigans, even slavery, cheap shots, drugs, dishonesty ...
The protagonist, played by Xavier Bardem, also has a gift it seems, he can speak with the dead, who curiously left this world like spiderman because they remain stuck to the ceiling ! But now we can have a gift of second sight and remain blind to itself. The healer who also seems to be his confidante, assigned to him by the stones that will give her two children to protect them before his death, a minor player in the wrong somehow, though I do not want to say anything that would be misinterpreted at this level because I am myself connected lithotherapy!
A cancer so quickly will prevail and the film is dying with him without spare us the bloody piss and the whole sordid situation of each. An ex-wife crazy, nymphomaniac violent provocative, vulgar, nearly Cro-Magnon when she eats ice cream with his fingers outdated by example to his family, probably prostitute on occasion and all bloated in his court-bouillon of depravity he poisons his last moments, children toast as usual, we are also surprised not to see them suffer from a serious illness too, but the boy is quite disturbed by his hit "Mother", the Chinese are used like cattle, because sir, (Xavier Bardem), is a kind of media mafia man band and black labor, and the Senegalese races and crooked cops redirected home while their families remain hidden in miserable slums, terrible image and will reject the sea the bodies of Chinese that we wanted to get rid!
Like what he's going to Barcelona this happens in too many cities in Europe ... That said, the mille feuille of drama, horror, sadness, avarice, of mixions of various soils, corpses exhumed at a cemetery that looks like a case of scrap metal, misery, filth I was quite disgusted and rebellious, it's stifling in this movie!
director Inarritu |
What else does all this rubbish and that the director wants to tell us? That there is life after death and that we should try to fix things down here to "go" light-hearted? The main character tries to change his behavior well but it is marginal, eg gas heaters purchased at a ridiculously low price to allow Chinese workers, new slaves, have fewer cold are outside the norm, we guess more ... It is almost impossible, the director seems to say, to leave his "destiny" and its "Forced" to use an image Verdean. Besides the dirty money can authorize another "direction" that the original intentions that produced it?
There are also two Chinese homosexuals and profiteers, including a bi obviously, but everything will be settled by a bloody murder, and the Chinese "bi" can leave in her mischievous way to find his family, his adviser délaissanr gay in his death bed!
In the first scene as I thought that Xavier Bardem was dragging a guy in a snowy woods (no doubt this is a deformation personal ...), but the first scene finds its explanation in the body exhumed, which is none other than his father, the same character who appears at the beginning but in this passage a Although little broken!
In the last scene, the father and son, ages curiously reversed, leaving this cold world, this world of snow and death go together and see beyond what happens. Snow and death, already in Chretien de Troyes, are often associated. This is the only key poetic film that takes place in an ocean of misery and excrement!
If you find that life is beautiful, modulate your passions and get to see this movie!

Willian Cliff , Belgian poet, gave a very particular vision of Barcelona, in agreement with the Catalan poet Ferrater his inspiration, the sonnet below, from the book "Autobiography " in 1993, leaves no doubt on this relationship status with this film, you will enjoy these frame burst as many photographs as floods this city:
"rage and fury of drinking kiss
rage to have a little money drinking
prostitution rabble vainglory
black clothes lean body exhausted
walls of houses decorated with human shit
old restaurants cheap meals
pumped black wine from the bottle
tobacco stuck to the parched lips
fucking atrocious rows in bars
problem under the neon and ruthless
children selling perishable
to call the attention of convicts
screaming like ducks that crushes
child sleeping on the sidewalk "
