It is simply an amazing film. "Before Night Falls" is the story of Cuban dissident poet/writer Reinaldo Arenas. It is the story of a boy born an outcaste, and cast out by his family, his culture, and eventually his own body. It is the story of a man who discovers the deepest levels of his own integrity, the deepest joys of his true friends, and a resilience born of those who betrayed him. With cameos by Johnny Depp and Sean Penn, the show is still the sole vehicle of Javier Bardem. An awesome performance.
It left me crying my eyes out, which is certainly a step up from coughing my head off!
Bravo!
