Mar adentro

Ramon is played by Javier Bardem, that Spanish actor of charm and gentle masculine force, and the smile lights up his face in a way that isn't forced or false, but sunny and with love.

Javier Bardem, one of the most physical actors in Spain, is brilliantly cast as the bed-bound Ramón, body credibly limp and unmanageable, face subtly expressive. He delivers a tour de force...

...Spaniens bedste mandlige skuespiller, Javier Bardem rammer en stærk realistisk tone med sine afmålte, småskælmske og stærkt beslutsomme udtryk.

...it’s extraordinary to watch an actor fully embody a role in which the canvas for conveying emotion is confined to the neck up.
