The Sea Inside

Spain   Javier Bardem

Intelligent, melodramatic treatment of the right-to-die issue. JB plays a man who became a quad at 23 and for 27 years has been trapped in a dead body...and he wants out. This film tracks the struggle he undergoes wrestling with the 'authorities' and members of his family.

Nice scene of him arguing with a quad Jesuit. The love interests seemed contrived. Syrupy music at cue times wasn't needed and took away some from the sense of drama. Nice looking with a skilled cast.

Worth it but not as good as Whose Life Is It Anyway?
