Kippur

Israeli filmmaker Amos Gitai presents an unrelenting portrait of the chaos of battle, inspired by his own experiences as a member of a helicopter rescue team during the Yom Kippur War. When Syria and Egypt launch a surprise attack on October 6, 1973, two young Israelis, Weinraub (Liron Levo) and Ruso (Tomer Ruso), attempt to rendezvous with their unit. Soon they are immersed in a war where battle lines are unclear, confusion and fatigue rein and glory is nonexistent. "A classic war film, at once elegiac and immediate" - Los Angeles Times.
