Babel (2006)
Country: FR/US/MEX
Technical: col 143m
Director: Alejandro González Iñárritu
Cast: Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Gael García Bernal
Synopsis:
Three separate ancillary stories are woven around the accidental shooting of an American woman in Morocco, those of the goatherds responsible, the Mexican nanny back home with the children, and the Japanese former owner of the rifle involved, living with his maladjusted daughter.
Review:
Iñárritu and Arriaga try their hand at an interlinked narrative for the third time and pull off another artistic success. In some ways the Japanese story seems something of a red herring - the common theme is self-avowedly that of mutual understanding - and the filmmakers end on this segment as if conscious of its weakness.
