With the upcoming launch of "Babel," director Alejandro González Iñárritu will complete the last piece of his trilogy.
Starting with the tiny-budgeted Amores Perros, Iñárritu has developed a reputation of being a tremendous storyteller with the ability to also put people in theaters.
"Babel is the last piece of the trilogy," Iñárritu says. "The three of them [films] are about families – local, foreign, global – all together telling a bigger story, with different perspectives."
The soon-to-be-released "Babel," stars Gael García Bernal, whose career was launched by Amores Perros, along with Brad Pitt and Kate Blanchett.
The one thing that will remain the same in "Babel" as it was with Amores Perros and 21 Grams, is the use of the many-sided storytelling technique use by Iñárritu.
He is a self-trained filmmaker who risked everything when he left a career in Mexican television to produce his first film.Referring to the growing number of Hispanic directors and their impact on Hollywood, he said: "Yeah, I think the perception has changed – many directors are doing great films, and now [the industry] has sensitivity for what people want to say, six years ago, Cannes didn't want to see my film [Amores Perros]. Now, they are awarding me Best Director."
