A powerful Israeli war drama about a group of soldiers stationed at the Beaufort, a 12th century Crusader fortress in southern Lebanon, led by Liraz Liberti, who was the last commander on the Beaufort castle just prior to Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000. Israel's sudden withdrawal from Beaufort and Lebanon, after 18 years of controversial occupation, is the backdrop for Cedar's film, which frames the gripping daily routine of a group of soldiers, their feelings and their fears, and explores the moral dilemmas in the days preceding the withdrawal. (Israel, 2006, 132 min., Hebrew w/ subtitles).
Director: Joseph Cedar. (Also directed: "Time of Favor" and "Campfire").
