21 GRAMS

Alejandro González Iñárritu’s 21 GRAMS is an emotionally intense puzzle of grief, guilt, and redemption, told through a fractured, nonlinear narrative.

Naomi Watts, Sean Penn, and Benicio Del Toro deliver career-best performances in this haunting exploration of fate and moral reckoning. Rodrigo Prieto’s stark cinematography and Gustavo Santaolalla’s minimalist score amplify the film’s raw emotional weight, as interconnected lives spiral toward tragedy.

Almost a spiritual sequel to AMORES PERROS, 21 GRAMS cemented Iñárritu’s reputation for deeply human storytelling and bold narrative experimentation, offering a profound meditation on mortality and the fragile threads that connect us.
