Today I’ve been to the cinema for the first time in quite a while and watched Babel by Alejandro González Iñárritu of Amores perros and 21 Grams fame. Once again Iñárritu’s unexcited story telling is a welcome change from the fancy camera work and editing which got so popular in the last few years and serves the – sometimes a little too predictable – story well. The acting ranges between solid and excellent, and I especially liked the performance of Rinko Kikuchi who excels in the role of disturbed teenager Chieko.
