Kippour
Director: Amos Gitai
Starring: Liron Levo, Tomer Russo, Uri Ran Klauzner, Yoram Hattab, Guy Amir
A classic war film, at once elegiac and immediate, that takes you smack into the chaos of combat yet is marked by a detached perspective.
A story about the ravages of one war on a single man's soul and psyche becomes an eloquent plea for peace.
Intense, autobiographically based drama.
Perhaps more than any war film in recent memory, Kippur is about the actual work of combat.
Both a blood-churning war movie and a mind-stirring antiwar movie, focusing not on guts and glory but on the stark realities of real battlefield experience.
