Spending time with Mexican-born writer and director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, you'd never guess that he's the filmmaker behind a series of movies known as the 'Death Trilogy.' The way he dotes on his children and talks about his wife makes it clear that he has a crackling passion for life.

Inarritu's own nomination for Best Director for 'Babel' was the first such honor for a Mexican director.

Inarritu's films focus on the repercussions of a single act that draws people together and simultaneously throws their lives into chaos.
