Mexican filmmaker
Alejandro González Iñárritu makes his first English-language feature with the downbeat
drama 21 Grams. Set in an unnamed U.S. urban center, the film uses a nonlinear structure to piece together the intertwined lives of three very different people.
Paul (
Sean Penn) is a math teacher with a heart problem and a troubled marriage to British wife
Mary (
Charlotte Gainsbourg).
Christine (
Naomi Watts) is a former drug addict who lives with her husband,
Michael (
Danny Huston), and her daughters.
Jack (
Benicio del Toro) is a born-again Christian with a wife (
Melissa Leo) who has stood by him since his days as a criminal. Following a tragic accident, the three main characters are thrown into each other's lives.
21 Grams was shown in competition at the
2003 Venice International Film Festival.
