Best of 2004: movies - the sea inside

easily one of the best films of the year, 'the sea inside' takes an unflinching non-melodramatic look at a man's quest for his right to die. based on the true story of Ramon Sampedro (played by the awesome Javier Bardem), the movie deftly shows his political and personal journey surprisingly through bedroom interactions were Ramon lies paralysed.

though the theme is a bit of downer, the ability to convey all Romon's layers of light heartedness and painful honesty by Javier Bardem is worth the price of the ticket alone.

smart, beautiful and simple, 'the sea inside' is a shoo-in during award season for both the actor and his kick ass director Alejandro Amenabar (the others). check this smart film out asap!
