Biutiful

Title is a misspelling by the young daughter of Barcelona crook Uxbal (Bardem), whose shady dealings involve trafficking Chinese sweatshop workers and Senegalese drug dealers. Uxbal is dedicated to protecting and sacrificing for his children, but he's forced to re-evaluate his life when he learns that he's dying from cancer. Bardem shines as the dark, conflicted protagonist--but cannot overcome the profound bleakness and misery of Uxbal's road to redemption. Spanish and Mandarin with subtitles.
