Title: I never knew there was a boring war movie, but Gitai did it
Product review: I was looking forward to an interesting movie about the Yom Kippur war, and I mean interesting and not necessarily a thriller with lots of blood. This movie managed to be utterly boring. There is no story line, no climax, you learn nothing about the Yom Kippur war, its context or anything relating to it, and not really anything about the characters either. The shots are endless, especially of the same tracks and the same tanks again and again and the same injured soldiers. The only thing I learned was that a lot of stretchers were used during the war. The content of this movie was just about enough for a short film, especially if you take out the long sex scenes in the beginning and end, which were apparently only there to add time and to maybe wake you up at the end. Somehow Gitai seems to have thought an art movie means an utterly pretentious, boring movie. What an utter disappointment!
