Samuel Maoz
Plot
During the 1982 Lebanon War, four young Israeli soldiers in a tank face their first combat. The whole film is seen from the inside of the tank, through the gunsight, as the crew sees the horrors of war outside and the stress inside. Samuel Maoz's 2009 film, based on his own experience, won the Golden Lion at Venice.
Sinekatalog’s take
Samuel Maoz's war drama is set entirely inside a tank during the 1982 Lebanon War. Claustrophobic, intense and immersive, it shows the horrors outside only through the gunsight, a brilliant formal experiment.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
