Reflection 2001
Narrative Synopsis
Shot months before September 11, "Reflection 2001" captures the Twin Towers as part of the daily rhythm of New York life—vast, immovable, and taken for granted. Re-edited after the attacks, Jan Troell transforms these images into a quiet cinematic requiem, using music and montage alone to mourn what was lost and to contemplate how suddenly the familiar can vanish.
