Alejandro González Iñárritu, the first
Mexican nominated for an Oscar in the best director category, said he
survived the “Hispanic tsunami” that took over this

multi-lingual film “Babel” was nominated for seven

“Amores Perros” (Love’s a Bitch) and
“21 Gramos” (21 Grams), all with Guillermo Arriaga
as screenwriter – is well aware of the power of words, having
made people’s inability to communicate the main theme of his
latest work.
