Reflexion 2001

Jan Troell
Sweden 2001 / 7’

Eight minutes of an impression about the World Trade Center buildings in New York, edited footage recorded in spring 2001, when no one could imagine a tragedy to come only months later. The melancholic music by Arvo Pärt combined with a wordless observation of everyday behaviour of men in the shadow of the giant building and the famous front page of Time with the burning towers as an ending point, make this film miniature a shocking requiem.
