Babel Out Today on DVD
Nominated for best-picture at Sunday’s Academy Awards, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s sweeping drama follows the lives of families around the globe that are affected by a tragic shooting in the African desert, the film spanning three continents and unfolding in five languages. The cast list is headed by the top-billed Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett and Gael Garcia Bernal, who all deliver strongly, but the standout performances come from Adrianna Barraza as a Mexican nanny in crisis and Rinko Kikuchi as a deaf Japanese teen coping with her mother’s suicide. For such an expansive film, it’s disappointing the DVD arrives without any extras — no interviews, commentary or other background. It’s certainly a candidate for a special-edition DVD down the line, especially if it wins best picture.
