Biutiful

“You don't choose your family. We all belong to somebody, but to belong to Uxbal and Marambra, is both a blessing and a curse.”

Uxbal (Javier Bardem) can sense when someone nearby is about to die, and he has learned to live with it as a father of two. He is also a criminal, and a diagnosis of prostate cancer sends him scrambling to settle his affairs and his responsibilities before the time runs out. Alejandro G. Iñárritu, working in Spanish for the first time since Amores perros, stays close on Bardem's face.
