Babel (2006)

a.k.a. 

Disabilities:  Deaf

Comments:   A series of interwoven stories from different continents. In Japan the man who rifle wounds the American woman touring Morocco has a daughter who is deaf. This is not a flattering portrait of someone who is deaf. She mixes well with her deaf friends with whom she uses sign language but misreads 'signs' from some others and throws herself at a police officer she fancies. I don't think the film is as good as some of the reviews say so. Its subject is what could be called meritorious. Don't see it for Cate Blanchett, she spends most of the film asleep on a stretcher.
