Before Night Falls Blu-Ray

One of the most universally acclaimed films of it's time upon release, Before Night Falls appeared on over 75 Ten Best lists and features Academy Award nominee Javier Bardem in a mesmerizing and inspired performance! (Rex Reed, New York Observer). Julian Schnabel (Basquiat) directed this incredible journey through the life and work of the late Cuban poet Reinaldo Arenas. Victimized by a government that banned his books and jailed him for a crime he did not commit, Reinaldo endured unspeakable persecution in a courageous stand against censorship and oppression. Without a country but not without integrity, he fled to America where he continued to fight for personal expression and produced a stirring body of work. Featuring a dual performance by Johnny Depp, Before Night Falls is a tribute to the liberating power of art... and one man's undying passion for life.
