Trivia
Alejandro González Iñárritu wrote the role of Uxbal specifically for Javier Bardem. The director said that when Uxbal first came into his mind, Bardem was the only choice that made sense.

During an interview with The Telegraph, Alejandro González Iñárritu quoted from "On Myth", which was the beginning of the film, by the Mexican poet Jaime Sabines: 'Someone spoke to me all the days of my life, / into my ear, slowly, taking their time. / Said to me: live, live, live! / It was death'.

Quotes
Bea: You can give up, let yourself go... or grit your teeth and hang on like stupid people do.

Marambra: [weeping] If I close my eyes then the thoughts start. They make me scared. I called you. I called you many times. I can't give the children what they need. I'm so sorry I was cruel to Mateo. I'm doing what I can to survive. I really want to be faithful to you, but I also like to have some fun... like a whore.

Marambra: At least I laugh and I like seeing people's teeth, if I'm happy because I'm happy, if I'm depressed because I'm depressed, I love you, I love you I said.
