LEBANON (2009)
Certification12 Our Rating
The entire film takes place inside a tank occupied by four inexperienced Israeli conscripts and the occasional interloper, a dead Israeli soldier, a wounded Syrian POW, a higher ranking officer and a Lebanese Falangist, during the 1982 Israeli invasion of the Lebanon.
'Lebanon' relates a series of episodes, based on the young director's own experiences, and very effectively relates both claustrophobia and a tank's eye view of the world.
Tense and engaging. find out more...
