Alejandro González Iñárritu (“Babel”) is the first Mexican director to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director. The “Cambodian Oscar Selection Committee” (COSC) presents his feature film BIUTIFUL (2010, 148min). He depicts 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. A towering performance from Javier Bardem is the leading light in this poetic tragedy Like a sheet of breaking glass, this is a film with a shattering effect. And like the misspelling of the film's title, not everything is as it sounds - or looks.
