En ung århusiansk filminstruktør skal i gang med sin første film på stort budget, en film om hans egen barndom. Man følger filmens besværlige tilblivelse: den idealistiske og ambitiøse, men umodne instruktør har problemer med skuespillerne og er tillige forelsket i den kvindelige hovedrolleindehaver. Endnu større problemer har han med det tekniske hold fra København. De brovtende københavnere har ikke meget til overs for århusianerne, og de insisterer på at holde fri om aftenen, hvor der skal drikkes og scores damer.

In Babel, a tragic incident involving an American couple in Morocco sparks a chain of events for four families in different countries throughout the world. In the struggle to overcome isolation, fear, and displacement, each character discovers that it is family that ultimately provides solace.

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.

In this mesmerizing, emotional film that was shot in three continents and four languages – and traverses both the deeply personal and the explosively political — acclaimed director Alejandro González Iñárritu (21 Grams, Amores Perros) explores with shattering realism the nature of the barriers that seem to separate humankind. In doing so, he evokes the ancient concept of Babel> and questions its modern day implications: the mistaken identities, misunderstandings and missed chances for communication that— though often unseen— drive our contemporary lives. Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Gael García Bernal, Kôji Yakusho, Adriana Barraza and Rinko Kikuchi lead an international ensemble of actors and non-professional actors from Morocco, Tijuana and Tokyo, who enrich Babel’s take on cultural diversity and enhance its powerful examination of the links and frontiers between and within us.

Artistic, sensual and sacred passions unite in Babette's Feast. Written and directed by Gabriel Axel, from a short story by Out of Africa's Isak Dinesen, this Oscar(r)-winning*film offers "an irresistible mixture of dry wit and robust humanity" (Newsweek). Onthe desolate coast of Denmark live Martina and Philippa, the beautiful daughters of a devout clergyman who preaches salvation through self-denial.

But with the arrival of Babette, a mysterious refugee from France's civil war, life for the sisters and their tiny hamlet begins to change. Soon, Babette has convinced them to try something truly outrageousa gourmet French meal! Her feast, of course, scandalizes the local elders.

Dans ce film policier réalisé par un spécialiste de l'action, Will Smith et Martin Lawrence balancent leurs répliques comme des rafales de mitraillette. Le film est truffé d'effets pyrotechniques qui raviront les amateurs d'effets spéciaux et de fusillades magnifiquement chorégraphiées. Évoquons également une scène dans une boîte de nuit avec tout ce qu'il faut de danseuses exotiques (une recette qui devient récurrente dans les films de Michael Bay). Martin Lawrence et Will Smith (qui n'avait pas encore atteint son statut actuel de méga star du box-office) livrent chacun une interprétation pleine d'humour et de finesse. Téa Leoni fait également forte impression, alors que Theresa Randle (Spawn, The Big Hit) en femme négligée et Tchéky Karyo (Addicted to Love) en cerveau du vol assurent eux aussi de très bons seconds rôles. —Shannon Gee

Ron Fricke, the cinematographer on the trippy Koyaanisqatsi, made this similarly impressionistic, dialogue-free photo exhibition come to life. Shot in 24 countries and at all sorts of locations (ancient temples, Auschwitz, a chicken-processing plant), the film attempts to make a subconscious or poetic point about the relationship between living creatures (particularly humans) and their environments. It's a breathtaking Herculean effort, but it is also opaque in meaning and probably best appreciated by viewers already in an incoherent state. Worse, the film loses much of its intended magic on video. —Tom Keogh, Amazon.com
