Babel (Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, 2006)With a compelling cast of characters and the trademark storytelling style of Inarritu, Babel provides the audience with a serious film on the lack of communication in today's world, and the consequences we all face because of it. Although some labelled it as extremely melodramatic, I found that for the subtext of the film, it works perfectly. Each character's conflict is just as compelling as the next, and it deserved all the accolades it garnered in the awards circuit. The score by Gustavo Santaolalla just adds to the yearning desperation of the film. A definite must-see from 2006.
