A Question of Sunlight juxtaposes the jarring memories of 9/11 with the haunting trauma of the Holocaust. ... in vivid close-ups the artist José Urbach relives the scenes of Nazi invasion in his childhood Poland when faced with the smoldering ruins of the World Trade Towers on 9/11. ... this film moves us to locate the narrative within images of life.... people recoup their dignity and ability to create beauty, even as the images of death continue to haunt them. Karen Remmler, Professor of German Studies, Critical Social Thought, and Gender Studies
