Babel (US Version) DVD Region 1

Directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, Golden Globe Best Picture Babel spans three continents and four languages to present an emotionally compelling account of intertwined lives and heartbreaking miscommunication. The cast includes such great stars as Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, who portray an American couple stuck in a Moroccan village. The alienation between husband and wife in the beginning and the mistrust among members of the Moroccan tour are ironically posing greater difficulties in communications than the language barrier. At the same time, two Morrocan brothers and the couple's Mexican nanny never expect to pay a huge price for just some apparently frivolous mistakes. On the other side of the world, a Japanese girl, deaf and mute, choose to communicate with others in ways that many people find too eccentric to accept. After the well-made 21 Grams, Inarritu now offers another thought-provoking piece that will satisfy movie-lovers looking for an inspiring title.

Director: Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

In this mesmerizing, emotional film that was shot in three continents and four languages - and traverses both the deeply personal and the explosively political -- acclaimed director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu (21 GRAMS, AMORES PERROS) explores with shattering realism the nature of the barriers that seem to separate humankind. In doing so, he evokes the ancient concept of "Babel" and questions its modern day implications: the mistaken identities, misunderstandings and missed chances for communication that, though often unseen, drive our contemporary lives.

Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Gael Garcia Bernal, Koji Yakusho, Adriana Barraza and Rinko Kikuchi lead an international ensemble of actors and non-professional actors from Morocco, Tijuana and Tokyo, who enrich BABEL's take on cultural diversity and enhance its powerful remarks on cultural links and frontiers.
