Summary:
"An official selection at the Cannes, New York and Toronto Film Festivals, Kippur is the critically acclaimed film from Israeli director Amos Gitai (Kadosh). 'An existential rather than a political event' (A.O. Scott, The New York Times) which focuses on the presence of the human spirit in war, Kippur is a gut wrenching journey through beautiful landscapes ravaged by gunfire, exploding mines, fear and desolation. The film takes place in 1973, during the Yom Kippur War, in which Egypt and Syria launched attacks in Sinai and the Golan Heights. Although the story is told from the perspective of Israeli soldiers, the film is far from being an exercise in propaganda. We are led by Weinraub (
Liron
Levo
) and his friend Ruso (Tomer Ruso) on a day that begins with quiet city streets, but ends with death, destruction and devastation of both body and mind. Although shot in long and unobtrusive takes, the film never reaches the realm of voyeurism. We are treated to a first person experience, yet there exists a nagging sense of dislocation. Various scenes are awash in the surreal as Weinraub's head hangs out over a rescue helicopter's open door, watching with tranquil desperation as the earth passes beneath, the overpowering whir of the blades creating a state. Upon Kippur's release in Europe and the United States, critics proclaimed it as 'A devastating portrait of the suffocating, disorienting senselessness of war and its assault on our sense of humanity' (Duane Dudek, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel). It is not a traditional blood, guts and glory war film. There are no men in battle, only the rescue crew trying to pick up the broken pieces. Kippur is the shell shocked memoir of Gitai, himself a participation in the conflict, and of the days that changed his life forever."--Container.
