Le premier essai d’Alejandro Gonzales Inarritu, Amores Perros, s’étant révélé un coup de maître, il était tout naturel de retrouver ce jeune réalisateur mexicain à la barre d’un projet américain d’envergure : 21 Grams.
Que peuvent avoir en commun Paul, atteint d’une maladie fatale et en attente d’une grèffe cardiaque ; Cristina, dont la vie sans vagues est bouleversée lorsque son mari et ses deux enfants meurent dans un accident ; et Jack, repris de justice croyant fermement en Jésus ? Les voies du destin sont impénétrables…
Du titre du film, on ne comprendra qu’une chose : nous perdons 21 grammes au moment de notre mort. De cette constatation, Inarritu tire un film où il dissèque la vie elle-même dans ce qu’elle peut avoir de plus tortueux, de plus décourageant, de plus abject. Véritable expérience de cinéma, son film entremêle les temps et les histoires, à l’aide de flash-back et flash-forward déstabilisants, baignés dans un éclairage très cru, souvent surexposé. Les trois univers s’entrechoquent, chacun porté par un acteur exceptionnel : Naomi Watts au meilleur de sa forme, le charismatique Benicio Del Toro et le toujours impeccable Sean Penn, prix d’interprétation à Venise pour ce rôle. Violent, âpre et sombre, 21 Grams est un film qui ne se laisse pas aborder facilement mais qui confirme le talent d’un cinéaste et de son scénariste, Guillermo Arriaga. – Helen Faradji.

Amazingly acted and engaging movie, but it's a bare-bones release,
By
This review is from: 21 Grams [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
I found it difficult to knock a star off my rating of 21 Grams because it's such a fine, engaging movie, with superb acting by Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro, and Naomi Watts. While it offers an okay 1080p video, and a 5.1 DTS-HD Master audio, this Blu-ray, like many other recent Alliance releases, has no menu system (other than a pop-up menu for adjusting audio) and no extras. This is the bare minimum that you can put on a Blu-ray, and for that I had to give it only a 4/5 as opposed to the 5/5 that I'd have given the movie itself.Truly, it's a movie that should be in your BD collection but you have to be comfortable with what this release lacks before purchasing this particular one. For my part, I'm still happy with it, as 21 Grams is an incredible experience.

Great story and great acting.The blu is very good. I appreciated the quality of faces. The movie is hard, so I prefer Babel. But the regard on life stays impressive.

This is not blue!,

This review is from: 21 Grams [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
This review is about the Blu-Ray of 21 Grams. I'm not reviewing the movie in itself, just the Blu-Ray. The only thing I'll mention about the movie is that it is worth watching a couple of times. Especially if you loved Amores Perros and Babel.Now that I've said that, I can says this is the cheapest Blu-Ray disc I've ever bought. And I don't mean "not expensive", I really mean cheaply made. First of all, there is no menu whatsoever. When you start the movie, you get a screen that says the movie will begin shortly. As for the extras, well, you get an English track and a French one... And that's it. In other words, there are no extras. The disc doesn't even include any subtitles for that matter. Now this wouldn't be so bad if the picture was of great quality, right? Well, unfortunately, the picture quality isn't quite up there. It is one of the worst "Blu" pictures I've seen. At times, I swore I was watching a DVD and not a Blu-Ray disc. All and all, this is a very disappointing release of a great movie. If you can get the DVD for cheaper, get it instead. You won't miss much. Rating of the movie: 4.5/5 Rating of the Blu-Ray: 1/5 Overall rating: 3/5
