From the director of BASQUIAT comes this hypnotic account of the life of Cuban writer Reinaldo Arenas. Arenas is played by Spanish actor Javier Bardem in a performance that has won him both a Golden Globe and Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. With memorable performances from Johnny Depp and a cameo by Sean Penn, Before Night Falls is a lyrical, sensual and moving piece of cinema.
