Set during the first Lebanon war in 1982, Total Eclipse director Samuel Moaz takes us on a claustrophobic and tense journey following four Israeli soldiers.
Lebanon takes place completely within a tank, using the limited view of the gunsight to follow what's going on outside resulting in an intensely effective sense of disorientation. However the films biggest flaw is it's lack of character development, making the soldiers seem just cowardly without really seeing any other side of them.
Nevertheless, it's unique style, sound effects and atmosphere sets it apart from the long list of war films before it.
