2 More Good Films
Biutiful is a movie not to be missed. It is a harsh and wrenching depiction of the conditions people live (and die) under and should be seen by everyone, if for no other reason than to remind most of us how fortunate we are. The film features Javier Bardem in, again, an extraordinary performance. Another Year is also a very good movie and stars the irrepressible Jim Broadbent. I think there could be a fantastic film festival created if it were to show only movies in which he has appeared.
