Review of Before Night Falls

it is a perfectly fine biopic that covers the life of a writer i had never heard of before i watched it. however, i already can't remember the guy's name and have no desire to learn anything more about him or read any of his work, so in that sense it was a bit of a failure. i knew this was javier bardem's breakout performance, so i was hoping for a little more. he is good, but nothing really stands out about his work here. julian schnabel is a very frustrating director, because he is clearly talented, but makes so many decisions that just make his films worse. they are extremely focused on emotional turmoil and inner conflict, but keeps a cold distance from the protagonist that holds the audience removed from being able to understand or feel that conflict. i also don't understand why he took the story about a cuban poet with a cast that all spoke spanish as their first language and made it in english. i would understand if it was to make it more commercial, but this was never going to be commercial and large chunks of it are in spanish anyways. i do miss when johnny depp didn't need money and would just take little bit parts because he found them interesting. i was a little confused because i thought both of his characters were the same person for a bit though. watched as part of scavenger hunt 47 task #25: watch a biopic about a famous author/poet/playwright! my list | rose white's master list watched as part of scavenger hunt 50 task #50: watch a film about an artist or author my list | lindsay's master list
