Winner of the Cannes Festival for Best Director, Babel is a powerful, intense and brilliantly made film. Full of life and culture it really digs deep in the understanding and miss-communication of general human actions and emotions.

When a tragic accidents in Morocco occurs, it sets of a chain of events that links 4 groups of people who are divided by culture differences and vast distances, discover a shared destiny that ultimately connects them.

If you are one for the films such as Crash, then Babel is right up your alley. If you have a queezy stomach violence or blood and have a short attention span than put Babel down and pick up A cinderlla Story.

overall a simple and easy to watch film from Gonzalez, and a definte must see and one for your DVD collection!

*****

A film that's purposly made to confuse the audience, although by using this tactic its strangely captivating. With outstanding performances by Naomi Watts, Sean Penn and Benicio Del Toro, the story follows our protagonists messed up lives, getting even worse, somehow finding their own lives intertwined. A film i'd definetly reccomend, although initially, very confusing. Unable to stop yourself feeling sympathetic for these misunderstood characters.
