71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance
1994 · Movie · 95 min. · Austria

The third of the trilogy examining the banality of violence in an impersonal modern society, 71 Fragments... looks at the haphazard series of events linking a killer and his victims. The film starts with a scene that is not shown, in which a man enters a bank on Christmas Eve and shoots a number of people at random before taking his own life. It then jumps back to track the lives of a series of strangers presumably in the period of time leading up to the shooting.
