21 Grams

Posted on August 17, 2018 by Village Vidiot

Fine 2003 Alejandro Innerita (he of “Amores Peros”) directed film staring Sean Penn, Naomi Watts, Benicio Del Toro (“Traffic”) with an outstanding piece of smaller work from Melissa Leo as Del Toro’s wife. Wow, where to start. Separate lives brought together through a car wreck, rather like “Amores Peros”. Also, death and salvation are the endless themes here, but the movie really works. Very brutal yet meaningful story of a math professor (Penn) who gets another man’s heart (Watt’s husband) when Del Toro, a reformed ex-con Jesus freak runs him and his daughters down. Sound s weird?. Well, it is. Justice and revenge in a battle after that. A very fine and disturbing film
