Biutiful - Avis

Bardem, who received a best actor Oscar nomination for “Biutiful,” is a vastly human actor.

...Bardem depicts the character with a feral grace that ranges from extreme sensitivity to explosive volatility. It is, no doubt, one of the most versatile and engrossing performances of the year.
