"The Best Film Of 2000" -Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
One of the most universally acclaimed films of the year, Before Night Falls appeared on over 75 "Ten Best" lists and features Academy Award® nominee Javier Bardem in a "mesmerizing and inspired performance!" (Rex Reed, The New York Observer)
Julian Schnabel (Basquiat) directs this incredible journey through the life and work of the late Cuban poet Reinaldo Arenas. Victimized by a government that banned his books and jailed him for a crime he didn't commit, Reinaldo endured unspeakable persecution in a courageous stand against censorship and oppression. Without a country but not without integrity, he fled to America where he continued to fight for personal expression and produced a stirring body of work.
Featuring a dual performance by Johnny Depp, Before Night Falls is a tribute to the liberating power of art... and one man's undying passion for life.

A classic - 5 out of 5 (5/24/2001)
A major achievement in scripting, acting and directing, this powerful film relates
the true story of Reinaldo Arenas, a Cuban gay writer who suffered the
intolerance, oppression and violence that befall those who choose to defy
Castro's Communist regime in their quest for freedom. A powerful reminder to
those who have lived through this tragedy in its many variations, and a moving
testament to the human soul. Required viewing.
