Film this Thursday 8th February | Feb 07th 2007
NUFS are going to be having our next meeting this Thursday (8th) at the Cameo at 6pm.This week’s film will be Babel at 8.50pm. Tickets are £2.
Film Description: “Richard and Susan (Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett) are a couple from San Diego, California who are vacationing in Morocco while their two children are at home with their Mexican housekeeper, Amelia (Adriana Barraza). A rifle finds its way into the hands of a local herdsman’s young sons (Said Tarchani and Boubker Ait El Caid), who recklessly take a shot at a tour bus and hit Susan in the shoulder, causing her severe injury. The distraught Richard calls home to tell Amelia of the situation, who shortly departs for Mexico to attend her son’s wedding, with Richard and Susan’s children in tow. Disaster thus multiplies, with the situation in Morocco ascribed to terrorists in the media, while Amelia meets with trouble at the Mexican border when she attempts to return to San Diego with Richard and Susan’s children. Meanwhile, in Tokyo, a widower (Koji Yakusho) tied to the rifle in question, a complex shift of ownership to which the audience is privy, attempts to deal with the memories of his recently deceased wife and his strained relationship with his deaf teenage daughter (Rinko Kikuchi).”
