Our take

Before Birdman, Alejandro González Iñárritu went to Barcelona for this heartrending drama of inner-city grit mixed with supernatural elements. A reflection on fatherhood and guilt, Javier Bardem’s blistering performance was nominated for an Academy Award® and won him the Best Actor prize at Cannes.
