Babel
Babel

“a dazzling array of faces, languages and imagery that sears into your soul.”
In Morocco two young boys thoughtlessly fire a gun and he ramifications of that action are felt as far away as Japan, California and Mexico. The film’s title expresses a somewhat bleak sense of miscommunication personified in different ways in each of the four stories depicted in the film. This is a very distressing film to watch in parts, but it is well-worth enduring the truly gut-wrenching angst and trauma, and the almost unbearable anxiety that Iñárritu manages to instill in his audience - and there are small rays of hope. Not for the faint-hearted perhaps but on of our year’s best films.
