Q & A: How Willimon Runs Fincher's 'House ...TIFF Interview: Inarritu Expected Biutiful, Starring Bardem, to "Provoke Extreme Reactions"
A sophisticated, intuitive and passionate director, Inarritu says that making a more simple movie (without longtime collaborator Guillermo Arriaga) turned out to be a challenge. "One city, one single character, one point-of-view, in my own language: I thought it would be easier," the director says in our flip cam interview below. "You're naked, there's no way to hide."
We also discussed why Biutiful has inspired such divergent reaction overseas and in America, and why folks today are scared of raw emotion, which is, fair to say, Inarritu's stock in trade. While I consider Biutiful to be a must-see, some critics resist this out-and-out tragedy. The director set out to "create catharsis" in people, he says, and expected the film to "provoke extreme reactions." Audiences should "go with the flow, see it, take it."

Fantastic interview with gonzalez inarritu, truly top notch. I found the interview substantive and I learned much that wasn't on the screen of this absolutely fantastic movie. I'm appreciative because I'm always looking for in-depth interviews both because i want to know what the people who create films as beautiful and thougthful as this one were thinking and also because I have a film website so I'll link to this site whenever you've done anything that fits on my site (www.findexplorefilms.com). Keep up the great work!
