- Fred White is racked with guilt over the death of his sister Maude, twenty years earlier. The circumstances were dark, violent, and according to Fred linked to 9/11. Divorced, unemployed, alcohol-soaked, and plagued by a need to do penance, Fred hires a film student to record his testimony and his quest. Libin makes clever use of flashbacks from his 1988 feature film "The Distribution of Lead". On the night of Black Monday a group of white-collar revolutionaries force their way into Maudes apartment after a failed coup at their firm in the World Trade Center. There, a game of cat and mouse ensues that Libin edits back-to-front, while we follow Freds odyssey through Lower Manhattan in the present. The result is an effective and topical film about an era consumed with paranoia, politics and distorted idealism. International Film Festival Rotterdam 2007 - Gerwin Tamsma
