Japanese section in 'Babel'! -

Has anyone checked out Mexican director Inarritu's new film Babel? He did Amores Perros and 21 Grams before, so if anyone liked either of those then I definitely suggest this as its of the same mould and possibly even of a higher calibre of filmmaking.
PLUS, one of the storylines running throughout the film is set in Japan! It follows a day in the life of a deaf-mute girl living in Tokyo and is a really interesting insight into the youth culture of Japan although having never been to Japan I suppose I can't really comment on its accuracy, but its really enjoyable and is beautifully shot anyway.
Has anyone else seen it yet or is anyone intending to see it?
