In the remote sands of the Moroccan desert, a rifle shot rings out - detonating a chain of events that will link an American tourist couple's frantic struggle to survive, two Moroccan boys involved in an accidental crime, a nanny illegally crossing into Mexico with two American children and a Japanese teen rebel whose father is sought by the police in Tokyo. Separated by clashing cultures and sprawling distances, each of these four disparate groups of people are nevertheless hurtling towards a shared destiny of isolation and grief. In the course of just a few days, they will each face the dizzying sensation of becoming profoundly lost - lost in the desert, lost to the world, lost to themselves - as they are pushed to the farthest edges of confusion and fear as well as to the very depths of connection and love.

This is an absolutely incredible film. Made by Alejandro González Iñárritu and a sequal to Amores Perros and 21 Grams, no one can tell a story as powerfully as he can. Incredible performances, especially from Brad Pitt and Adriana Barraza, and a powerful score to say the least, this is a must see for any film goer.

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Good!!!

you'll have to give credit to director inarritu: he knows how to tell a story, and how to put it so you keep wondering how it will end. this movie is not cut in chronological order, but with flashbacks and flashforwards. in this manner you get an ingeneous and intelligent montage that tells an emotional story about a couple on the verge of divorce and (parallel) that of their children who are unaware of the dangers they (or their parents) are in. an emotional moving movie that raises questions about relations, cultures and cultural differences, trust, companionship, .... good drama, but no melodrama: inarritu gladly knows how to avoid melodrama and how to keep an intense emotional tone throughout the movie.
this is the third movie in a trilogy: 'amores perros' and '21 grams' are certainly as good and moving as babel and worht watching.
