Snacks eaten - far too much birthday cake
Film 22 - Babel
Directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu
Year - 2008
Babel revolves around four different stories which eventually cross paths in some way. Young boys living in Morocco who discover a rifle and act out their curiosity, an American couple whose holiday has disasterous results, a young Japanese girl with a secretive father and a Mexican maid who is desperate to get to her son's wedding back in her native country. These plots intertwine as the film continues and none of it particularly upbeat.
Superb performances not just from a-listers Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. This moving concoction of intriguing relationships and culture are accompanied by a great script and stunning direction. Touching and tragic, don't expect this to be light hearted. A fantastic follow up from the mexican director.
So next film is...little miss sunshine. Link? Now for more tea and cake. Fatty.
