Mar adentro ...

This film by Alejandro Amenábar that won the oscar for best foreign film is just so good. Javier Bardem's performance as a man, who through his 25 years of tetraplegia fights - with humour and intelligence - for his personal right to choose euthenasia, is outstanding. All the acting is excellent, from his spotty adolescent nephew to his very realistic componese brother. The film is based on and dedicated to Ramon Sampedro, the man on whom the film is based.
