Biutiful

Javier Bardem stars as a husband of a bi-polar wife, a loving father to his kids, and a shady, but caring, blackmarketeer to some undocumented immigrants. This Spanish film has color-coded subtitles (white-Spanish, blue-Mandarin, and yellow-African). This is a very sad and depressing film about a man hiding a secret and struggling with the weight of the world on his shoulders. Nominated in the Best Actor and Best Foreign Film categories for the Oscars, this movie is not for everyone. Alien senses some deeper symbolism that I didn’t get or something lost in translation or I have been brainwashed by seeing too many American films.

Alien gives it 1 ½ "Pyrenees Is Biutiful" stars out of 4.
