A 2006 film conceived by writer Guillermo Arriaga and director Alejandro González Iñárritu, ''[[Babel]]'' was released to mixed reviews <ref>Currently 68% on Rottentomatoes</ref>, but still earned seven Oscar nominations. It won for Gustavo Santaolalla's score.
 
''Babel'' is an ensemble piece headed by Cate Blanchett and Brad Pitt; they play an American couple, Richard and Susan, who are vacationing in Morocco trying to sort out their marital difficulties. But then, she's shot by two local boys fiddling around with their father's new rifle. As Richard tries to get help with ''much difficulty,'' the couple's Mexican nanny takes their kids to Mexico for her son's wedding. Meanwhile, in Japan, a deaf schoolgirl, Chieko, tries to overcome the death of her mother and her own sexual frustration.
