DVD: Before Night Falls
Price: $24.98
Julian Schnabel's critically acclaimed Before Night Falls documents the life of Cuban poet and novelist Reinaldo Arenas. Playing the oppressed author, Oscar nominee Javier Bardem evokes both the passion and pain of Arenas, who joined the revolution to put Castro in power but was later persecuted for his writings, and his homosexuality, under his leader's command. Before Night Falls is a stunning, emotional film about one fascinating man's incredible journey.
