Nominee | 2007 | Vancouver Film Critics Circle | VFCC Award | Best Supporting Actor | Brad Pitt, Babel
Winner | 2007 | AFI Awards, USA | AFI Award | Movie of the Year | Babel | BABEL is a powerful reminder of the poetry of film. Alejandro Iñárritu's non-linear storytelling style is both epic and intimate, and imagines our global interconnectivity as catalyzed by a single bullet. Raw performances from an extraordinary cast drive this haunting and, at times, harrowing tale about our inability to communicate despite advances in technology. The film is also an unblinking look at the price this has on our children, and ultimately asks the question, "Will we hear each other, before it's too late?"
