1,000 DISCORDANT VOICES UNIFIED ON DVD

I give you this grandiose title by way of informing you of my purchase of Babel Region 2 (UK). I picked up Babel for the weekend having previously trying to watch a downloaded version of the film without any subtitles. Not ideal for any film let alone one with a broad thematic canvas taking in a range of different characters based in three different countries across two continents.

I've highly rated both Amores Perros and 21 Grams from director Alejandro González Iñárritu. Thus, I approach this film, his third installment in his loose trilogy revolving around disparate lives being brought together by a random event or crisis, with high level of intrigue.
