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.
