Alejandro González Iñarritu and "Babel".

I went to the movies last Sunday to watch the last one of Alejandro González Iñarritu, "Babel".
As with "Amores Perros" and "21 grams", the film is constructed by stories that entangle. The topic, as one could guess from the name, is on the situations arising from the lack of communication (in the Bible, the tower of Babel was the place where all the languages were created to punish people for being overly proud and doom them not to understand each other...).
It is very, very real. So real, that at points is painful. This is a signature of all his films. That and the colours he uses, but as I do not know of film-making, I could not tell you exactly what he uses.

If you want to watch the trailer, go to:

I'm not yet sure if it has been released in the UK. But once you watch it, we can discuss it!.

There are two additional good reasons to watch it: Brad Pitt and Gael Garcia Bernal.
