21 Grams
#16 in my 2007 movie challenge was 21 Grams, the 2003 effort by Alexander Gonzalez Inarritu, nominated for Oscars this year for Babel. 21 Grams, like Amores Perros, is a criss-crossing lives story that does not unfold in linear time. Eventually, the story settles into a coherent narrative but it’s the performances by Sean Penn, Naomi Watts and Benicio del Toro that grabbed my attention. Depressing yet redemptive.
