Review of Beaufort (2007) by Ken T — 16 Oct 2010
Very good Academy Award nominated film about the last days of the Israeli occupation of a fort in southern Lebanon in 2000 - the fort having been occupied since 1982. With Hezbollah shelling the fort frequently, the soldiers are anxious to leave.
After one particular incident, one soldier begins to question the occupation. This soldier is Koris - a brave, but questioning man - and butts heads with Liraz, the leader who appears tough, but is on the inside a trembling man.
This is an often tense, very human portrait of war depicting their mostly dull daily activities (even the shelling is reported in a monotone manner) with the sudden and rapid impact of violence.
