THE SEA INSIDE (Mar Adentro) (2004) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Alejandro Amenábar
 
Written by - Alejandro Amenábar
 
Starring - Javier Bardem
 
 
 
"The true story of Ramon Sampedro, a quadriplegic from Galicia in Spain, who spent around a quarter of a century confined to his bed and desperately seeking a death with dignity. There is a lot of genuine humanity in the story itself that comes across as a potent drama that nevertheless deals with a delicate and current issue in the most tasteful and touching of ways. The Sea Inside is directed well by Amenábar but also works because of Bardem’s powerful performance in the lead role that the film has a great emotional impact."
