5/29/11
OVERVIEW: Nominated for two 2010 Academy Awards® -- Best Foreign Language Film of the Year and Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role for Javier Bardem – Lionsgate debuts the unforgettable film Biutiful to DVD, Blu-ray Disc and Digital Download this May. Oscar®-winning* actor Bardem masterfully takes on the role of Uxbal, a man in free fall, that the Los Angeles Times calls, “one of the year’s best performances.” Honored with multiple awards including Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival and a Best Foreign Language Film Golden Globe® nomination, the drama based on a short story by director Alejandro González Iñárritu (Babel, Amores Perros) has been hailed as “riveting” (New York Post). Available on May 31st, the DVD and Blu-ray Disc include a “making of” documentary that takes viewers behind the scenes of this powerful, arresting film.

(Bardem) is a man living on the wrong side of the law who struggles to provide for his children on the dangerous streets of Barcelona. As fate encircles him, Uxbal learns to accept the realities of life, whether bright, bad – or biutiful – in this unforgettable film.
