An anthology of short films, mostly fictional, by eleven directors from eleven countries: a world-wide range of perspectives on the fall of the Twin Towers. Nice idea (producer Alain Brigand's), but inconsistent inspiration, uneven relevance (Ken Loach wants to address the assassination of Allende, Shohei Imamura wants to return to the Second World War). After the affecting first two episodes by Samira Makhmalbaf and Claude Lelouch, it's pretty much downhill, with a sharp rise for Amos Gitai's elaborately staged single take of a car-bomb scene in Tel Aviv. The other directors: Sean Penn, Mira Nair, Youssef Chahine, Danis Tanovic, Idrissa Ouedraogo, and Alejandro González Iñárritu. (2002) — Duncan Shepherd
