| Brief Description: |
Amos Gitai's vivid and wrenching film about the Yom Kippur War of 1973 draws upon his own experiences as a soldier while presenting combat in a subjective, existential, and visually arresting manner. Few films have conveyed the physical and emotional disorientation of war so powerfully. "Gitai plunges the viewer into the reality of modern warfare, in which the enemy is often invisible--we never see the Syrians in Kippur--and battle lines are often unclear...Depicting war as chaos, he makes a powerful argument for peace" (Fred Camper, Chicago Reader). In Hebrew with English subtitles. |
