以“三部曲”形式描绘美军占领后的伊拉克的社会实态。第一部以逊尼派居住区的少年为观察对象,第二部的视点则切换为什叶派的神职人员,第三部旨在展示库尔德牧人的生活境况。影片虽在返美后完成最终剪辑,但为保持原汁原味,完全留存了伊拉克的现场拾音。在此基础上辅以细腻的映像、巧妙的剪辑,高超的完成度叹为观止。难怪本作于年初的圣丹斯电影节纪录片竞赛部门连中三元——最佳导演、剪辑、摄影奖。Iraq in Fragments illuminates post-war Iraq in three acts, building a picture of a country pulled in different directions by religion and ethnicity. Filmed in verité style with no scripted narration, the film explores the lives of ordinary Iraqis to illustrate and give background to larger trends in Iraqi society.
