The Sea Inside

2004125 minsColor
Alejandro Amenábar, Director
In a performance praised for its restraint and control, Javier Bardem (NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN) plays Ramón Sampedro, a quadriplegic activist who fought for 30 years for the right to die. By concentrating on Sampedro's story as distinctly individual (not as representative of the handicapped), filmmaker Alejandro Amenábar (OPEN YOUR EYES) firmly contradicts common clichés and assumptions. One of the most honored films of 2004, The Sea Inside won the Oscar® for Best Foreign Language Film. "Profound and uplifting" - Los Angeles Times.
