The first Israeli film to take home the Golden Lion Award at the 2009 Venice Film Festival as well as the Satyajit Ray Award this year in London, Lebanon is a must-see. Set against the backdrop of the first Lebanon war in June, 1982, a lone tank is dispatched to search a hostile town that has already been hit by the Israel Air Force. What seems to be a simple mission gets gradually out of control and turns into a death trap, a shivering nightmare.

A claustrophobic tour de force comparable to Das Boot in its use of location and creation of tension, Maoz’s film is filled with unforgettable images and offers a profound and persuasive analysis of conflict.

A poignant and personal film - based on the director’s experience of being a tank gunner – Lebanon is in cinemas this Friday, 14th May.
