...Aside from marriage and kids, the "most exciting" thing to happen to Cate Blanchett...
...well-worn, but rather because Iñárritu is running out of things to say with it. The title alludes to the biblical parable of the Tower of Babel, and, fittingly, the trials of all the main characters largely revolve around their inability to communicate. Susan (Cate Blanchett) and Richard (Brad Pitt), the wounded tourist and her husband, can’t find a phone that will get through to the American embassy and are divided from the locals by a language barrier.

Instead he wrote the stage equivalent of a fingers-up sign to the Australian Bicentennial with 1841, took an Edward Albee-esque look at modern marriage in Sweet Phoebe (in which Cate Blanchett made her British stage debut) and, most recently, had actors perform The Iliad in underpants (Live Acts on Stage). But it is as a director that Gow is now making his mark. As artistic director of the Queensland Theatre Company since 1999, he has energetically championed young writers. Still...
