Babel for the fifth time

Friday, January 12th, 2007

Yes, I have seen Babel five times in a movie theater. The last time was last night (January 11th, 2007) and there was supposed to be a Q&A with director Alejandro González Iñárritu and actresses Rinko Kikuchi and Adriana Barraza, however Iñárritu was sick and did not show. Regardless, it was still interesting to meet both of these amazing actresses and hear what they had to say about Iñárritu as well as their experience with the film.

Unfortunately, I was not able to get very many good pictures, but there were a few that came out nicely.

Professor Sprout had the Prophet propped against a bottle of ketchup and was reading the front page with such concentration that she was not noticing the gentle drip of egg yolk falling into her lap from her stationary spoon.
