  Film Score September 2001 - The Madman and His Muse
Together, Badalamenti and Lynch seemed to have invented their own version of the film soundtrack, a musical purgatory where every kind of style and sound floats about in a beautiful state of dread, all trying to be heard at once-a soundscape that's nothing less than hypnotic.
While the film winds its way through L.A.'s boulevard of broken (and very bad) dreams, the music veers from nearly motionless string dread to noir jazz and audio feedback, the rhythms building to an explosion of infinite darkness.
I always tell a director before he dubs the film, "No one can leave the theater humming a sound effect." I really believe that David feels that music is the voice of his concepts.

 OFFOFFOFF film review SEPTEMBER TAPES movie by Christian Johnston with George Calil, Wali Razaqi, Sunil Sadarangani, ...
But if you don't agonize over every scene, the film is certainly "true" in the way that a great novel is "true." It shows us the reality of a certain place and time — the place being Afghanistan and the time being now.
The film starts with a lot more talk about the danger than real evidence of it, but the tension level cranks mercilessly up, and by the end we've been through a heart-pounding hell along with these characters.
I've puzzled for weeks over the film's politics, and although there is a certain all-American lone-wolf bravado — a little bit of "Rambo Witch Project" — to it, I think it navigates this precarious subject without taking sides in a political debate.

 11'09"01 September 11 - film review
In Makhmalbaf's film, a teacher tries to explain to child workers in a brick factory (Afghan refugees in Iran) what has happened in New York, but they are more interested in a local accident where two people fell down a well.
Youssef Chahine's offering (from Egypt) is a rather awkwardly didactic film in which the director himself talks to the ghost of one of the American marines killed in Beirut; I think this is likely to be the most "difficult" film for Americans (if 11'09"01 ever screens in the United States).
Inarritu's film (from Mexico) is a montage of audio (and some video) pieced together from the events of September 11 itself.

 Harvard Film Archive September-October: Andrzej Munk
Weaving together archival footage, excerpts from the film, letters from Munk to his wife, and interviews with some of the director’s collaborators, Brzozowski creates a haunting tribute to the director as he conveys a sense of the unease that haunted the production.
Employing a verisimilitude that went far beyond the usual demands of socialist realism, he filmed with his crew in the same harsh, snowbound locations and cast several of the members of the original Blue Cross in their real-life roles.
Munk garnered international recognition with this breakthrough film, a poignant satire on the vagaries of heroism in wartime and “the bitter irony of Polish fate.” The work is presented in two parts.
