Movie of the Year Julian Schnabel invigorates the biographical movie in his sensual, lyrical and searing memorial to the late Cuban novelist and poet Reinaldo Arenas, played by Javier Bardem with a riveting mixture of passion and playfulness. BEFORE NIGHT FALLS is a moving testament to artistic and sexual freedom, and Schnabel brings to it a painter's eye and a documentarian's attention to cultural detail. |
