Short description
This is a story of a man in free fall. On the road to redemption, darkness lights his way. Connected with the afterlife, Uxbal is a tragic hero and father of two who's sensing the danger of death. He struggles with a tainted reality and a fate that works against him in order to forgive, for love, and forever.
What's left behind the scenes
- During filming, on February 12, 2009, the lead actor Javier Bardem underwent surgery to remove a herniated disc.
- This film is the first by Iñárritu not to feature his regular screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga, which is why the director wrote the screenplay for this film himself.
- The film primarily featured non-professional actors.
- Diariatou Daff is a Senegalese immigrant who worked in a hair salon near Barcelona. Her life story closely mirrors that of her character in the film.
