Synopsis
Academy Award winner Javier Bardem plays a man on the wrong side of
the law who struggles to provide for his children on the dangerous
streets of Barcelona. The latest film from Academy Award nominee
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu (BABEL, 21 GRAMS, AMORES PERROS),
BIUTIFUL won the award for Best Actor at the 2010 Cannes Film
Festival.
Starring Javier Bardem (NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN), the film includes
Maricel Álvarez, an Argentinean actress in her feature film debut,
and Spanish actors Eduard Fernández and Rubén Ochandiano. As in
all Iñárritu's films, BIUTIFUL includes an array of new faces and
non-actors from around the world. The script was written by
Alejandro G Iñárritu in collaboration with Armando Bo and Nicolás
Giacobone, based on an original story by Iñárritu.
At the heart of BIUTIFUL, there is the intimate and powerful story
of Uxbal, a lonely man who struggles to survive between the tough
life within a marginal neighborhood, and the battle to protect the
future of his young children who must fend for themselves.
Filming took place in Spain during the months of October 2008 to
March 2009 at locations in Barcelona, Santa Coloma, Badalona,
Sabadell and Navarra.
