| Brilliantly conceived; superbly directed; and beautifully acted; Babel is inarguably one of the best films of 2006. Director Alejandro Gonz?lez I??rritu and his co-writer; Guillermo Arriaga (the two also collaborated on Amores Perros and 21 Grams) weave together the disparate strands of their story into a finely hewn fabric by focusing on what appear to be several equally incongruent characters: an American (Brad Pitt) touring Morocco with his wife (Cate Blanchett) become the focus of an international incident also involving a hardscrabble Moroccan farmer (Mustapha Rachidi) struggling to keep his two young sons in line and his family together. A San Diego nanny (Adriana Barraza); her employers absent; makes the disastrous decision to take their kids with her to a wedding in Mexico. And a deaf-mute Japanese teen (the extraordinary Rinko Kikuchi) deals with a relationship with her father (Koji Yakusho) and the world in general that's been upended by the death of her mother. It is perhaps not surprising; or particularly original; that a gun is the device that ties these people together. Yet Babel isn't merely about violence and its tragic consequences. It's about communication; and especially the lack of it--both intercultural; raising issues like terrorism and immigration; and intracultural; as basic as husbands talking to their wives and parents understanding their children. I??rritu's command of his medium; sound and visual alike; is extraordinary; the camera work is by turns kinetic and restrained; the music always well matched to the scenes; the editing deft but not confusing; and the film (which clocks in at a lengthy 143 minutes) is filled with indelible moments. Many of those moments are also pretty stark and grim; and no will claim that all of this leads to a "happy" ending; but there is a sense of reconciliation; perhaps even resolution. "If You Want to be Understood... Listen;" goes the tagline. And if you want a movie that will leave you thinking; Babel is it. --Sam Graham |
