September, Germany 2003

Max Färberböck graduated from the Munich school of visual arts and cinema. His film September, was born out of the September 11 tragedy in New York, is quite an original project. He began to write the story right after the events occurred; one month after to be exact, in October. The film portrays the life of five different persons in Germany and how this terrorist attack affects their lives, although they were not directly involved. .
Mmh, doesn’t sound very interesting, right? Well, it actually is. Each person has its own problems, from divorce settlements to an interracial marriage between a German girl and a Pakistani café owner. I specially like one of the characters who is so shocked because of the planes crashing into the World Trade Center, that she actually starts to drift away and somehow lose her mind. There is even one dancing scene, just like a film from India. This is a nice original film
