如果真有所謂Krzysztof Kieslowski式電影的承傳者的話，那就非Alejandro Gonzales Inarritu莫屬了。他的新作《Babel》將在今年康城影展首度亮相，故事大綱有強烈的Kieslowski感覺：

Armed with a Winchester rifle, two Morrocan boys set out to look after their family's herd of goats. In the silent echoes of the desert, they decide to test the rifle... but the bullet goes farther than they thought it would.

In an instant, the lives of four separate groups of strangers on three different continents collide. Caught up in the rising tide of an accident that escalates beyond anyone's control are a vacationing American couple, a rebellious deaf Japanese teenager and her father, and a Mexican nanny who, without permission, takes two American children across the border. None of these strangers will ever meet; in spite of the sudden, unlikely connection between them, they will all remain isolated due to their own inability to communicate meaningfully with anyone around them.

From Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu comes a film that is at once intimate and epic, shot in four countries, cast with actors and non-actors, and concludes his trilogy that started with "Amores Perros" and "21 Grams."

《Babel》的主要演員有Brad Pitt、Cate Blanchett、Gael Garcia Bernal和役所廣司。如你對Gael Garcia Bernal這名字感到有點陌生的話，他除了是《Amores Perros》中戀嫂的Octavio外，更是《The Motorcycle Diaries》裡的青年哲古華拉和《Bad Education》裡的Angel/Juan。

崔允信的《憂憂愁愁的走了》影碟買了很久，但對它信心不大，遲遲沒有觀看。看了以後，很明顯，我的憂慮是多餘的。《憂憂愁愁的走了》雖然是獨立電影，而且題旨宏大，但崔允信的功力扎實流暢，駕馭有餘。
