Apparently “Babel” comes with health advisories in Japan. Something about patrons complaining of nausea and headaches after theatrical screenings.
When I saw the film, I had very different symptoms; I wanted to punch Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu in the face about every twenty minutes.
Just saying they might want to put that on the sticker, too.
“I had very different symptoms; I wanted to punch Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu in the face about every twenty minutes.”
only every twenty minutes? i think it was more like 15 for me.
by the way, thank you for saying this. why more people don’t expound on the overwrought stinkiness (or emptiness) of this movie is beyond me.
maybe that could be a future sympatico column – top 10 worst critical successes (i also nominate american beauty and crash)
