Moviola > Films > 21 Grams
21 Grams (15) 124 mins"They say we all lose 21 grams at the exact moment of our death - everyone. The weight of a stack of nickels. The weight of a chocolate bar. The weight of a hummingbird..." Sean Penn, Naomi Watts, Benicio Del Toro and Charlotte Gainsbourg star in this truly great thriller - one of the very best films of the last few years. It is the story of three gentle people: Paul Rivers (Penn), an ailing mathematician lovelessly married to an English emigree (Gainsbourg); Christina Peck (Watts), an upper middle class suburban housewife, happily married and mother of two little girls; and Jack Jordan (Del Toro), an ex-convict who has found in his Christian faith the strength to raise a family. They are brought together by a terrible accident that will change their lives. By the final frame, none of them will be the same as they will learn harsh truths about love, faith, courage, desire and guilt, and how chance can change our worlds irretrievably, forever. Anyone with an interest in cinema should not miss this marvellous film. Screenings of this film are supported by South West Screen.
