Death's a bitch

Not as overwrought as 21 Grams nor as stupid as Blindness, but it's yet another gloom-fest from Iñárritu. He used to be a DJ before taking to film - I imagine his record box being stuffed with Massive Attack and Portishead. You couldn't get much more downbeat than a man dying of cancer but to be fair it's given an original treatment. The performances of Javier Bardem and Maricel Alvarez make it worth watching.
