Australian actress Cate Blanchett poses upon arriving at the Festival Palace for the premiere of Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's film 'Babel' at the 59th edition of the International Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, southern France, 23 May 2006. "Babel" set in the Moroccan desert, tackles man's lack of communication in this hi-tech world, and has been filmed in four languages including Arabic. As the Cannes Film Festival hit the halfway mark on Tuesday, the field remained wide open with critics largely divided on which of the 20 films could carry off the coveted Palme d'Or.
