Biutiful

Uxbal works for Barcelona's underworld. He is also the father of two young children and is still taking care of his fragile ex-wife. His life requires masks and to move from gentleness to roughness. When he discovers he only has a few months to live, he tries to tie up some loose ends. Mexican director Iñárritu presents an almost simple story that leans on his cinematic talent and mostly on Javier Bardem's mesmerizing performance, which earned him the 2010 Cannes best actor award.
