| Synopsis: 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. We are led by Weinraub (Levo) and his friend
Ruso (Ruso) on a day that begins with quiet city streets, but ends
with death, destruction and devastation of both body and mind. It is
not a traditional "blood, guts and glory" war film. There are no men
in battle, only the rescue crews trying to pick up the broken
pieces. Kippur is the shell-shocked memoir of the director Gitai,
himself a participant in the conflict, and of the days that changed
his life forever. |
