That would be nice, but really we all know no foreign film has made it until there is an American remake.Originally Posted by feverishparade

Of course, how naive of me.
Alejandro González Iñárritu‘s ‘Biutiful’ Opens Wide on January 28
Posted on Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010 by Germain Lussier
The holiday season release date shuffle continues. First Gulliver’s Travels was moved, then Blue Valentine, and next is the Golden Globe nominated Best Foreign Language film Biutiful, written and directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu and starring Javier Bardem. Originally scheduled for limited release December 29, it’ll now bow on January 28, right after the Oscar nominations are announced. (EDIT: The limited release date remains the same, so if you’re in LA/NYC you can see the film this month. Everyone else gets the movie in January.) Bardem won best actor at Cannes this year and the film is the Mexican entry for Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars.
And here’s the official plot description.
Biutiful is a love story between a father and his children. This is the journey of Uxbal, a conflicted man who struggles to reconcile fatherhood, love, spirituality, crime, guilt and mortality amidst the dangerous underworld of modern Barcelona. His livelihood is earned out of bounds, his sacrifices for his children know no bounds. Like life itself, this is a circular tale that ends where it begins. As fate encircles him and thresholds are crossed, a dim, redemptive road brightens, illuminating the inheritances bestowed from father to child, and the paternal guiding hand that navigates life’s corridors, whether bright, bad – or biutiful.

I can't wait to watch this.
Me neither. The trailer blew me away.
I got some classics to watch but have mostly been rewatching movies lately. Got Five Easy Pieces, Chinatown, The Passenger, Shane and 2001: A Space Odyssey.

i LOVE old movies & Mickey Rooney is my favorite actor of all time. though from what i've read about the guy he isn't always the nicest guy in the world. but he's still a great actor when he's got the right director. & the right script. i've seen him do films where his performances are lousy.
case in point on how good is he is. has anyone seen his 'Boys Town' films? those are classic films that they don't make em like that anymore unfortunally. i'm not really a big fan of foreign films to be honest. i see them every once in awhile but only if someone i like is in it to be honest.
For my arthouse film crowd :
Dogtooth (2009)
It's a very procative and very disturbing Greek film. Read the premise, I promise you'll want to check it out asafp.
yes, bears think they might want to have a look

yes, normally, as far as movies are concerned, bears and Heather stick together.

a very, very good movie indeed. I think it's time to watch it once again, it gets better with time. I mean, now I won't be so bored with the compulsory post-Trier post-Haneke genitals close ups, and some other things directly inherited and/or borrowed and will be able to concentrate on what is unique. Wish I spoke, or at least understood, Greek; but one good movie isn't a good reason to learn another language. Maybe if he makes a couple more...

I fucking adore that film. I want to watch it again now.
Been meaning to watch that for a while now, ever since I started hearing such great things about it on here. Saw it cheap in the shop earlier today. Hmmm. May get it later on in the week.

Not yet, I'm afraid. Instead, I bought a box set of shows by satire legend Armando Iannucci (and bears should know how much I love my satire by now) and spent the weekend laughing my arse off at backstabbing politicians and (borderline) ridiculous news reports. I'll keep you posted when I do get round to watching it, though.

don't procrastinate (it's what bears love doing, have to say), I hope you'll like it... In any case, it is twisted, insane, beautifully made, very intelligent and very European.

I've heard nothing but great things about it on this board, so it has been something I've wanted to check out. I just only remember about it when I read about it on this board after I've been to the shops!I've got a little money to spend and a little extra time to kill now that i've finished college for a month or so, so I may even get round to buying it today. I'll also have a good look round for any other dvds that I should've watched by now!
