Cztery dziejące się w różnych miejscach świata historie z jednym wspólnym mianownikiem. Małżeństwo amerykańskich turystów pada ofiarą tragicznego wypadku, wyglądającego początkowo na zamach terrorystyczny. Meksykańska niania wbrew zakazowi rodziców zabiera dzieci, którymi opiekuje się od najmłodszych lat, na ślub swojego syna. Marokański chłopiec niechcący popełnia czyn, który pociąga za sobą dramatyczne konsekwencje. Szokujące zachowanie zbuntowanej japońskiej nastolatki jest przejawem buntu i niemożności poradzenia sobie z traumatycznymi przeżyciami... Przejmująca współczesna wersja biblijnej opowieści o wieży Babel, w której brak porozumienia między bohaterami stanowi główną przyczynę ich dramatów.

- Hakihiko16 grudnia 2024A Powerful Web of Human Connection Alejandro González Iñárritu's Babel is a masterclass in intertwining narratives, painting a complex portrait of human connection and isolation. Set against the backdrop of different countries and cultures, the film follows four distinct stories across Morocco, Japan, Mexico, and the United States. What links these seemingly disparate lives is a single act: a tragic shooting in Morocco that ripples across continents. The film's strength lies in its deeply emotional storytelling and its exploration of the barriers that divide people-language, culture, geography, and circumstance. Iñárritu's direction is both intimate and expansive, making you feel the weight of each character's struggles. Whether it's Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett as a grieving couple in Morocco, or Adriana Barraza as a Mexican nanny crossing into dangerous territory to get her charges home, the performances are raw and absorbing. Rinko Kikuchi's portrayal of a deaf Japanese teenager grappling with loneliness and rejection is particularly heart-wrenching and stands out as one of the film's emotional cores. The cinematography is another highlight, with Rodrigo Prieto capturing both the beauty and desolation of the film's various locations. From the vast Moroccan desert to the crowded streets of Tokyo, every frame is thoughtfully composed to reflect the emotional landscapes of the characters. Overall, Babel is a poignant exploration of global interconnectedness, showing how a single event can echo across borders and affect people in deeply personal ways. Its ambition, combined with its powerful performances and emotional depth, makes it a standout in Iñárritu's filmography. However, its narrative complexity may not resonate with everyone, and its message, though meaningful, can feel overwhelming at times.
