The One Movie You Should See This Week
30 December 2010 | Nerve | See recent Nerve news »
The One Movie You Should See This Week Javier Bardem mans a sweatshop, Ryan Gosling breaks up with Michelle Williams, and Mike Leigh tries to cheer us up. Who gets your ticket money? By Scott Von Doviak Biutiful Director: Alejandro González Iñárritu Cast: Javier Bardem Apparently the movie industry believes we all have something better to do with our New Year's Eve than head out to the cinema, as the new offerings this weekend are scant and generally downbeat. Take Biutiful, the latest effort from the life of the party himself, 21 Grams and Babel director Alejandro González Iñárritu, which stars Javier Bardem as a terminally ill, poverty-stricken man who provides for his family by supplying a sweatshop with immigrant laborers. It sounds grim even by Iñárritu's standards, but may be worth seeing for Bardem's performance, which took Best Actor honors at [...] »

Top 5: Best in Spanish Cinema in 2010
29 December 2010 2:20 PM, PST | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
[Editor's note: I've asked our team of world film correspondents to dish out their top 5 films of the year from their respective countries. Here's Mario Balarezo del Caz's take on the Best in Spanish Cinema in 2010.] Like in any given year, it's always a difficult task to come up with a Top 5 films, but among the Spanish films that were rolled out domestically I won't be including such items as "Biutiful" or “Balada Triste de Trompeta”, mainly because even if those have gathered some recognition internationally, in my opinion, these were flawed and irregular works from their respective directors. While Alejandro González Iñárritu's drama's only saving grace might be Javier Bardem´s acting, the rest of the film suffers from a jaded structure that seems only the skilled hands of Guillermo Arriaga could have made effective and the same goes for Álex de la Iglesia's film where majestic sequences are overtly ridiculous at times, I saw it as a bad mismatch blending of the genres. Here are my top 5 of the year. #5. HéroesA quality guilty pleasure. An homage to the teen American films of »
Watch This: Javier Bardem In 'Biutiful'
29 December 2010 9:41 AM, PST | Filmology | See recent Filmology news »
Biutiful, with its afterlife theme and male "family man" protagonist, sounds kind of like a Mexican What Dreams May Come. Sorta. Directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, regulation hottie Javier Bardem plays a single father living in the shitty part of Barcelona, struggling with leaving his children behind when he's diagnosed with a terminal illness.
Just another one of those feel-good Bardem films, obviously! Here's a clip from the movie in which the Happyness-style title is explained, via Vulture.

Is it too late for 'Another Year' to crash the best picture race?
29 December 2010 1:22 AM, PST | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Three new movies are opening in limited release today that have taken completely different and unexpected paths during awards season so far. "Biutiful" debuted to mixed reaction at Cannes, but Alejandro González Iñárritu's stark drama was picked up by Roadside Attractions who have worked hard to try to land an acting nomination for star Javier Bardem. Unfortunately, that looks like a long shot at this point as it appears the picture just couldn't break through a crowded field to make a mark with guild voters (and overall reviews haven't helped either). "Blue Valentine" was almost sent to the slaughterhouse because of »
Christopher Nolan's Inception Wins 7 Phoenix Film Critics Awards
28 December 2010 5:58 PM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard, Inception Tom Hooper's The King's Speech finally got crowned (couldn't resist the bad pun) as the Best Film of 2010 by one Us-based critics' group: the Phoenix Film Critics Society. Curiously, The King's Speech won only one other trophy, for critics' favorite Colin Firth as Best Actor. [List of Phoenix Film Critics' winners.] Apart from their unusual Best Film choice, the Phoenix Film Critics' other winners followed the path carved by other American critics' groups. In addition to Firth, Natalie Portman was Best Actress for Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan, while Christian Bale was Best Supporting Actor for David O. Russell's The Fighter, which also earned Melissa Leo the Best Supporting Actress citation. Alejandro González Iñárritu's Biutiful was the Best Foreign Language Film and Toy Story 3 was the Best Animated Feature. Inception's Christopher Nolan was both the Best Director and the author of the Best Original Screenplay (instead »

Sean Penn Speechless! It's a Biutiful Thing
28 December 2010 2:45 PM, PST | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
As everyone knows, Sean Penn isn't exactly the quiet type. But even this outspoken Oscar winner isn't immune to being at a loss for words every once in awhile. We know of at least one time he was actually struck speechless... Follow: Marc Malkin on Twitter and Facebook It was after seeing Javier Bardem's new movie, Biutiful. "I showed it to him one year ago and he couldn't walk, couldn't talk for like 15 minutes because he was just sitting there," the movie's director Alejandro González Iñárritu says. "He couldn't really put himself, his thoughts and his feelings together." And that's a good thing. Biutiful isn't »
Film: Movie Review: Biutiful
28 December 2010 12:00 PM, PST | avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news »
When it was announced that director Alejandro González Iñárritu and screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga were ending their collaboration after three films, the timing felt right for a break-up. By the time 21 Grams led to Babel, the gut-punching realism and puzzle construction that seemed so fresh with Amores Perros had devolved into miserablist formula. With Arriaga veering off into full-on self-parody with The Burning Plain, his directorial debut, Iñárritu seemingly had the freedom to apply his impressive filmmaking chops to less predictable ends. Sadly, the only real difference between Arriaga at his worst and Iñárritu’s new »
Review: Javier Bardem Saves the Overwrought, Overmanipulative Biutiful
28 December 2010 11:40 AM, PST | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »
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. »

Below is my written article (after the jump) on the Best Movies of 2010, listed per film in alphabetical order.
2010 was a great year at the movies. Both Hollywood and independent cinema offered thought-provoking gems that thrilled and entertained us.

Javier Bardem Interview Biutiful
27 December 2010 8:16 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
In the drama Biutiful, actor Javier Bardem gives a complex, conflicted and multi-layered performance as Uxbal, a man on a tragic journey to reconcile the love for his children with the criminal underworld he has gotten caught up in. In Barcelona, his livelihood is earned by less than savory means, but when he is faced with his own mortality, he set out to find redemption and seeks solace in the sacrifices he is willing to make for the ones he loves. At the film’s press day, Bardem talked about playing a role with such emotional intensity, working so closely with filmmaker Alejandro González Iñárritu (read an interview with Inarritu here), how being an actor enables him to see the world with different eyes, and how he prefers to play multi-layers characters. Check out what he had to say after the jump: Question: What was it that really attracted you »

Q&A - Javier Bardem on Eat Pray Love, the Coen Brothers, and His New Pic, Biutiful
26 December 2010 9:01 PM, PST | AMC News Interviews | See recent AMC News Interviews news »
Javier Bardem's current hot streak began with his win at the Academy Awards. Since picking up the Best Supporting Oscar for his work in Joel and Ethan Coen's No Country for Old Men, Bardem collaborated with Woody Allen, romanced Julia Roberts, and dove into a project with the reclusive Terrence Malick. Bardem's latest, Biutiful, finds him exploring terminal illness with Babel director Alejandro González Iñárritu. We sat down with Bardem to talk about Malick, the Coens, and his Biutiful "life journey." Q: You've had plenty of time to discuss and dissect this film since its bow at Cannes last spring. Is there a topic or message that comes up in conversation about the film that continues to resonate with you? A: Well, I think that the movie reads to people at a very deep level. Some people feel like it is too much to take. I feel that »
Director Alejandro González Iñárritu Interview Biutiful
26 December 2010 8:08 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
The Spanish drama Biutiful, from filmmaker Alejandro González Iñárritu (Babel, 21 Grams), is a love story between a father and his children and the unexpected journey that life can take us on. Uxbal (Javier Bardem) is a conflicted man who struggles with fatherhood, love and spirituality amidst crime and the dangerous underworld of Barcelona. His tainted reality and inevitable fate work against him and make him something of a tragic hero, who is ultimately seeking forgiveness. At the film’s press day, director/co-writer Alejandro González Iñárritu talked about his desire to make Biutiful a character-driven drama, not passing judgement on any of the individuals in the story, the struggle to find an American audience for a subtitled film, and finding more meaning in the fact that life is finite. Check out what he had to say after the jump: Question: Where did the character of Uxbal come from? Alejandro Gonzalez »

The Top Ten Trailers of 2010
24 December 2010 11:10 AM, PST | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Lists like these may be done to death, yet I haven’t seen one that matches up with my favorites. As an online film writer, trailers consume your life. I only find it appropriate to look back on the year and award the marketing teams that have provided us with the best works of art.
I’m willing to bet the majority of people doing what I do end up seeing more trailers then even films. We can all complain about the spoilerific trailers, or the ones that bait us into a film, only to have the end product be something completely different. But every so often, there is a stunning 1-3 minute gem that captivates, energizes, and has us pre-ordering our midnight ticket right away. Check out my top ten examples of 2010 and a few superlatives below.

Exclusive: Alejandro González Iñárritu Talks the Spirituality, Collaborative Nature of 'Biutiful'
22 December 2010 10:58 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Director Talks His First Collabo With Javier Bardem & Working With His Friend Guillermo del Toro Alejandro González Iñárritu is a challenging filmmaker. This much we already know. With films like "21 Grams" and "Babel," he took major stars and put them in morally complicated quagmires that involved personal choice and global oppression, which made for some very uncomfortable viewing. But nothing he has done is quite as confrontational as "Biutiful," a wonderfully executed, spiritually rich meditation on life and death, told through the point of view of Javier Bardem's streetwise hustler (who himself is dying). It's a performance that… »
'Biutiful' Release Pushed A Full Month To January 28, 2011
22 December 2010 9:45 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
It's a bit of good news/bad news for arthouse fans today. While The Weinstein Company have pushed up the release date for "Blue Valentine" to December 29th, another highly anticipated movie is being shoved back a full month. Roadside Attractions have bumped Alejandro González Iñárritu's "Biutiful" from a planned December 29th limited bow to a January 28, 2011 date. While we're bummed that people will have to wait a bit longer to see Javier Bardem's searing turn in the picture, it's hard not to see the reasoning behind the movie. Bardem has pretty much be ignored by most awards folks… »
Exclusive: Director Alejandro González Iñárritu on Biutiful
21 December 2010 | Comingsoon.net | See recent Comingsoon.net news »
Mexico's Alejandro González Iñárritu has established himself as one of the most innovative filmmakers when it comes to drama with just four feature films, each of which have defied all the expectations established by the one before. His first feature film Amores Perros received his country's blessing on its way to a Foreign Language Oscar nomination, followed by 21 Grams in 2003, which got two of its cast their own Oscar nominations and 2006's Babel , in which Iñarritu cast his camera on the globe with four concurrent stories, and that one was nominated for seven Oscars including Best Picture and Iñarritu for his direction. For his fourth film Biutiful , Iñárritu worked with Oscar-winning actor Javier Bardem to create the character Uxbal, a street hustler from Barcelona »

Oscar-Winning Actor Also Says Reported Project With Tony Scott Is "Not Real" A dying street hustler with two young children, a bi-polar ex-wife and a dicey career in the black market of Barcelona, Alejandro González Iñárritu's harrowing humanist drama, “Biutiful,” follows the final days of Uxbal, as he struggles to prepare all the parts of his life to go on without him. Oh yes, and to complicate things, the man coming to terms with his own mortality has a special gift/curse; he sees dead people. At times touching, at others shocking and bleak, this film certainly produces affect, but it… »
