Eleven perspectives on 9/11, by eleven directors around the world (just look at the list). Whoever invited these filmmakers for their short features on the subject probably thought this was going to become a compilation of sympathy for America, but I couldn't imagine a collection more critical of the phenomenon known as USA. Penn's section is insanely scathing, Gita's was the most amateurish, Iñárritu's and Loach's are definitely thought-provoking, but I found Lelouch's feature (about a foreign deaf mute begging for recognition by her American boyfriend) the most intriguing. After all, the French are master filmmakers.
