this be the great film i saw in 2002 and whereas i be use to mainstream movie . it be rich and make a beautiful artistic act from these 11 short film . from the technical info ( the choose director ) and i fear it would have an anti american basis and but . it a kind of ( 11 time ) personal tribute . the weak point come from y. chahine represent he do not manage to swallow his pride and considers this event a a well merited punishment . it be really the weak part of the movie and but this testifies of a real freedom of speech for the whole piece . the weird come from the mexican nearly conceptual art film . i be still not sure what a. gonzalez inarritu meant . the 9 others be perfect ( k. loach and s. penn and s. makhmalbaf and . ) or nearly perfect ( c. lelouch ) and make me either smile and or cry or even leave me stun . i still do not know if s. imamura fable be really related or not to the september 11th catastrophe and but it be so pretty that it finale place deeply amakes it .
