Another Darien Library announcement:
Monday, July 6th at 1:30 p.m. – The Sea Inside/Mar Adentro (Spanish) (2004) Javier Bardem, Belén Rueda, Lola Dueñas, Mabel Rivera, Celso Bugallo, and Clara Segura; Rated PG-13; 125 minutes; Presented with captions. Two of the most talented figures in contemporary Spanish cinema — actor Javier Bardem and director Alejandro Amenábar — collaborate for this powerful drama, based on a true story. Ramón Sampedro (Javier Bardem) was a fisherman and part-time poet who, at the age of 26, suffered an accident while diving that left him a bedridden quadriplegic. Now 54, Ramón must depend on his family to survive — his macho brother José (Celso Bugallo), José’s wife, Manuela (Mabel Rivera), and their son, Javi (Tamar Novas). While grateful to his family and friends for their help, Ramón was always an active person, and as the years wore on, he has come to see his life as frustrating and pointless and wishes to die with what remains of his dignity.
