I just watched "11'09''01 - September 11" on Sundance
I was quite impressed. I just stumbled upon it 5 minutes before it started and decided to watch it. Then I couldn't be pulled away. This is a unique film, sort of like an edited volume of 11 short films, each 11 minutes long and made by 11 different filmmakers around the world. The film tracks world reactions to 9/11 (except in one segment, the Japanese one at the end which is only crypticly related). This is the 9/11 movie that should have been shown on ABC, while that PT 911 nonsense should have been relegated to pay cable.

1. I watched them last week. Great short films. One from Sean Penn.
Some were quite poignant and touching.

2. Ditto and ditto. The Japanese segment was startling. I read it
as the line "You send your son to war a man and he comes back a snake" - expanded.

Very well done.

3. I watched part of it this morning when I got home from work.
I saw part of the story from NY with the mute girl. I wish I had seen the beginning because it looked interesting.

I loved the short film with the children in Africa chasing Osama Bin Laden. I thought that was a great story.

I also saw the women who protested in the square every month. That was interesting, as well. I fell asleep just as the story from London was starting.

I may have to Tivo this movie.
