Lies to Live By: Babylon is a fascinating yet unsettling drama that captures the disillusionment of love and the chaos of personal choices. Carla's journey from Italy to the U.S. creates a stark contrast between her vibrant romance with Charles, the ex-punk rocker, and her tumultuous life back home with Francesco, her fiancé. The pacing is deliberate, almost languid, allowing the tension to build as Carla navigates her feelings. It’s interesting how the film captures the punk ethos through Charles, yet remains grounded in the raw emotional turmoil of Carla’s decisions. The performances have a gritty realism that draws you in, making the film feel almost like a snapshot of that era, a slice of life that resonates in its complexity.
