"Mar adentro"

[juanpe]

Hi guys,

 

If someone knows Spanish or the movie is shown in your countries, there is this new Spanish movie (which has just gotten two of the most important awards in the Venice 2004 Movie Contest) which is spectacular...

 

It is about the real case of a man who was the first one in Spain asking for the right to die (touches euthanasia) and thanx to whom a debate about euthanasia was opened up

 

Javier Bardem (best actor award) has such a difficult and at the same time impressive role in the movie... and it shows very beautiful landscapes and real areas of Galicia (northwest past of Spain).

 

If you can or are interested in watching a great movie and in this topic, try to see it ;)

Javier Bardem is very good, as is Alejandro Amenábar. I'll be sure to see it when it comes out here.

Guess now that they have gotten two awards in this Venice Movie Festival, it will be easier for you guys to get it in the States of Canada and watch it... i havent gone yet but everybody who has seen it says it is very impressive, emotional and very well done

This is being called "The Sea Inside" in the States, right? The trailer looks amazing.

I am going to see it this Friday with my sister. I think Javier Bardem is a really good actor.
