A Babel négy történetet mond el, melyek 36 óra alatt játszódnak három kontinens négy országában. Egy amerikai pár Marokkóban utazgat, amikor turistabuszukat támadás éri. A sivatagban egy pásztor fegyvert ad a gyerekeinek, hogy azok megvédhessék a kecskéket a sakáloktól. Kaliforniában egy házvezetőnő magával viszi a gondjaira bízott gyerekeket az unokaöccse esküvőjére Mexikóba. Japánban egy fiatal lány próbálja feldolgozni anyja halálát. A látszólag összefüggéstelen események hálójában vergődő emberek sorsa akaratlanul is összefonódik. Vétlenül elkövetett bűnök sorozata rávilágít arra, hogy mennyire képtelenek vagyunk szót érteni egymással, mennyire elidegenedtünk a valóságtól, mennyire áthághatatlanok a kulturális különbségek.

Bábel stílusosan lebeg a felszínen, de nem tud lemerülni. A két fő novella tartalma félig-meddig üresen cseng, a harmadik pedig, bár a legtöbb potenciált rejti magában, nem tud mit szólni hozzájuk. Ha a 21 gramm című filmnek négy csillagot adtam, most maradnom kell a háromnál. A szép látvány, a remek hangulatú zene és a jó színészek nem minden. Ui. Chiekónak ugrania kellett volna.

Iñarritu abandons the time fragmentation of 21 Grams and, as in his first film, tells several intertwining stories. The Mexican episode is probably the weakest, with relatively little emotional impact, while the Japanese one seems to have fallen out of another film, but thanks to the likeable lead actress it’s one of the most enjoyable. Great emotions take place in Morocco, with the story of a shepherd and his sons that escalates with great urgency at the end, while the fate of the injured American woman is gripping in places thanks to the great performances of the central duo Pitt – Blanchett, whose circumstantially forced intimate moments are among the film's strongest. The Moroccan episodes are clearly worth 5*, the other two 3*, but if I had to compare, Iñárritu's previous 21 Grams had much more emotional charge overall, at least for me.

Alejandro González Iñárritu has reached the zenith of his mosaic-laden journey. I would like to say that he took the best from Amores Perros and 21 Grams and combined them together, but that is not the case. Still, Babel remains the director's best work. He managed to avoid a bit of the unfortunate confusion from his previous film, endowed all the storylines with emotional richness, and mixed everything in a way that I could barely catch my breath right from the first second, for over two hours. And it wouldn't be Iñárritu if there wasn't some message present in his film. Babel almost screams for humanity, solidarity, and help, which in some moments brings tears to the viewer's eyes, and in others simply pins them to their seats.

What I appreciate about Iñárritu is how he is able to sensitively tell the story of the hardships of an ordinary person. However, it’s also the same plot concept for the third time, which is unfortunate because about halfway through the film moves into the plane of expectation and the inevitable boredom that comes with it. This fact is reinforced by the relatively shallow and detached segment with Richard and Susan and especially the Tokyo segment, which is completely out of context. Fortunately, both are amply compensated by the story of the little Moroccan shooters (the best part of it for me).

Alejandro González Iñárritu stubbornly sticks to the refined style that appealed to so many viewers in his previous two films. I used to be a fan of Amores Perros, but I didn’t like that much the celebrated 21 Grams. I enjoyed Babel less than AP but more than 21 Grams. It’s a mosaic composed of three, and therefore four, stories. If they did away with the one about the whiny Japanese girl, the film would be less than two hours long and I would likely be a little more satisfied. I don’t mean by this that the Japanese story was uninteresting, no, but it’s so distant and with a different atmosphere, and it always distracted me from the dirty desert settings of Mexico and Morocco. Moreover, its connection with the other two stories is only symbolic.
