Mondays in the Sun

A role in a hit production can change an actor’s career. For Javier Bardem, No Country for Old Men was that movie. His Oscar-winning performance has led to the repackaging of some of his older, less popular movies. Released in 2002, the Spanish importMondays in the Sun, tells the story of Santa (Bardem) and his friends as they deal with losing their shipyard jobs. Gloomy and bleak in its presentation, the production is a well-acted, character-driven portrayal of six men whose lives never seem to change. –dark abyss
