Babel

The directing-writing pair that brought you AMORES PERROS re-teams for this powerful, trademark fractured narrative of coincidence and devastation caused by the inability to communicate and understand. Shot on three continents and in four languages, it follows an American couple holidaying in Morocco who have an unexpected encounter with two poor Moroccan kids and a rifle, an illegal Mexican nanny desperate to attend her son’s wedding, and a Japanese father and his daring deaf daughter. The film won Iñárritu Best Director at Cannes.
