Both achieve a wide yet inconclusive grasp on isolation. Both are fine films even though '21 Grams' under-reaches where 'Babel' aims loftily. His Oscar-nominated 'Babel' last year wowed with its technical structure and stark reality trying to resolve the characters ensnared in it. It's both sublime and puzzling but its Inarritu's defined style. This all unfurls within ten minutes and captures the essence of the film as well as what it lacks. That quickly segues into her at a grief therapy session then segues again to Jack (Benicio Del Toro)applying his own unique brand of counseling to a prison inmate.
Next we see Christina's soon to be deceased husband and two daughters enjoying quality time at a diner. He exhales his cigarette smoke with a look of exasperation. Michael (Sean Penn)watches over Christina (Naomi Watts) while she rests, both naked and wrapped up in white sheets.
In its opening four shots, Alejandro Inarritu's high-strung '21 Grams' presents itself dizzingly yet strongly to our senses.
