About this product

Product Information

BABEL is the crowning achievement in the trilogy from the unstoppable creative pairing of screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga and director Alejandro Gonzalez Innaritu, which also includes AMORES PERROS (2000) and 21 GRAMS (2003). Building upon its predecessors' method of weaving together disparate storylines, BABEL reaches new heights of ambition with a tale that, in the absence of traditional narrative and protagonist, relies on numerous incredible performances to evoke an affecting relevance by framing contemporary issues in very human struggles and mistakes. Richard and Susan (Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett) are a wealthy couple from San Diego who are vacationing in Morocco in order to heal after the death of their young child; their other two children are at home with their Mexican maid, Amelia (Adriana Barraza). In a complex shift of ownership to which the audience is privy, a rifle finds its way into the hands of a local herdsman's young sons (Said Tarchani and Boubker Ait El Caid), who recklessly take a shot at a tour bus and catch Susan in the shoulder, causing her to nearly lose her life. The distraught Richard calls home to tell Amelia of the situation, who promptly departs for Mexico to attend her child's wedding, with Richard and Susan's children in tow. Disaster thus multiplies, with the situation in Morocco ascribed to terrorists in the media, while Amelia meets with the harsh immigration policies of the Bush administration. Meanwhile, in Tokyo, a widower (Koji Yakusho) tied to the rifle in question attempts to deal with his memories and his raucous, promiscuous, deaf daughter (Rinko Kikuchi).Nearly every performance of the film is devastating, offering an intimate, emotional experience that would approach melodrama if it weren't rendered so realistically. Cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto's color palette masterfully captures the muted tones of the harsh natural landscapes of Morocco and the Mexican border, as well as the fluorescent lights of Tokyo that denote another, though equally barren, end of the spectrum. The misunderstandings born of cultural, language, and class barriers are on par with those that occur between family members, depicting a world that, while connected in the least expected of ways, is also faced with a deep-seated crisis that threatens to alienate humanity from itself.

    Three stories linked by tragedy

    A good movie that will cause the viewer to reflect upon its theme. Authentic background, not the common Hollywood fantasy. The action in Morocco, Mexico/USA border, and Japan is realistic and tense. Worth the purchase price.

    A tragic accident’s scope expands, catching four groups of people on three continents in its terrible grip.

    Babel focuses on four interrelated sets of situations and characters. The plot lines and events take place in Morocco Japan United States/Mexico.great scenery plot lines and great acting by Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett.I enjoyed it a lot .

    Very Entertaining Movie. Great Stars.

    Loved the stories that kept going back and forth. Both were of troubling situations. Who wouldn't love any movie with Brad or Cate. Remember Benjamin Button. Enough said.

    Babbel DVD

    The movie was too slow moving. The sexual scenes needed to be left out. They had nothing to do with the actual storyline.

    Failed to live up to it’s potential

    Nice plot but the language was very, very unacceptable. Love to see the movie remade with acceptable language. Tired of Hollywood pushes trash and calling it entertainment!!!
