75A verité collage of indelible images Sauret collected in and around Ground Zero, beginning moments after the planes hit the World Trade Center.
-
70The mostly wordless film simply presents Ground Zero, the dust-covered surrounding areas, and the city's immediate rescue efforts. As a document, it's invaluable, and as a viewing experience, it's somewhat shocking.
-
70The film lacks narration or music, but the devastating images speak for themselves.
-
70A meditation on the scale of a catastrophe so enormous that all the assembled resources seem paltry and inadequate.
-
70Forgoing any voice-over commentary, these now-familiar images regain their original power to shock with the sheer enormity of the event.
-
80Actually manages a fresh perspective. The director, camera in tow, had unimpeded access to the devastation for a full day before being shooed away by officials, and the footage he captured (sans commentary) is both gut-wrenchingly familiar and disconcertingly foreign.
