Film Club @ MJH: Advance Preview Screening of 'Lebanon' July 19, 2010

Post-screening discussion with director Samuel Maoz interviewed by film critic Leonard Quart

Filmed almost solely from inside a tank and through the gunsight, this film tells the story of four soldiers who find themselves in a violent situation that they cannot contain. Based on the director’s own experience during the war with Lebanon in 1982, the New York Times has called the Venice Film Festival winner “an astonishing piece of cinema.”
