    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When the film was released, director Mathieu Kassovitz called it a "bad episode of 24 (2001)." In an interview with amctv.com, Kassovitz said that 20th Century Fox interfered throughout production, and he never had a chance to shoot a scene the way it was scripted, or the way he wanted it to be.
    • Goofs
      When we are first introduced to Auroa, you can see she has her tongue pierced with a gold barbell in a couple of close-ups when she is talking. Her character would obviously not have had her tongue pierced for many reasons, not the least being she has never ventured out into the world. In later shots, the piercing is no longer there.
    • Quotes

      Sister Rebeka: Aurora could speak when she was two years old.

      Toorop: Oh, a lot of kids speak at two.

      Sister Rebeka: Not 19 different languages.

    • Alternate versions
      20th Century Fox and Studio Canal released this film in different countries separately (since it is a co-production between the two companies). However, the version released by Fox (released for example in the United States and Great Britain) runs 90 minutes whereas the Studio Canal versions runs 101 minutes (released for example in France and Germany).

    Babylon A.D.D.
    Wtf.

    Do you like headaches? Do you wake up everyday saying "Today sure is a great day to see a movie that could have been great, but I'd rather be confused!" Well then go see this movie! I don't really know what else to say, you can't really rate a movie as good, or bad, unless there is a movie to rate. It was so jumbled around with drastic scene changes, a plot that you don't even understand at the end of the movie, and uhhh, be prepared to be in an altered state of mind when you go to see it, maybe then you'll think you get it. Otherwise you're gonna hate this movie.
