Ken Loach’s entry aside, this is a self-indulgent bid to wring arthouse kudos from tragedy.

There is, however, a genuine reason for not giving the collection wide distribution. Most of it isn't any good.

The resulting collaboration offers some diverse geographical, cultural, and artistic perspectives on those tragic events.

Seeing September 11 now, five years after its completion, is a reminder not only of the visceral terror from that day, but also of the sense of shared global humanity that flourished briefly in its wake.

An ungainly, intermittently harrowing omnibus filled with moments of piercing sorrow and rage.

'A pesar de lo fallido de algunos trabajos, es un sólido trabajo que muestra las diferentes reacciones de grupos étnicos e intelectuales a una grave tragedia'

You'll get a provocative picture of how a variety of filmmakers reacted to the events of Sept. 11.

The results are not monumental, but they are a variety of sober responses to the tragedy that help place the event in a global context.

The short films range in quality and style from wonderful absurdist metaphor ... to breathtakingly dumb metaphor ... to hilarious satire to theatre of the obscure.

The best witness of 9/11 is 9/11, and Inarritu, as if honorably terrorized by the facts, turns to an Arabic quotation: 'Does God's light guide us or blind us?'

You have to take the duds with the skyrockets, but overall, this odd compendium is an emotionally moving experience.
