Lebanon

About This Movie

Lebanon (2009) takes you into the claustrophobic confines of a tank during the First Lebanon War. The film has this raw, unsettling vibe—you're not just observing; you’re stuck in there with the soldiers, feeling their anxiety and fear. It’s really about the psychological toll of war more than the actual combat. The pacing is tight, almost suffocating at times, which amplifies the tension. The practical effects are effective; they convey a gritty realism without over-the-top spectacle. The performances are strong, especially considering the limited space and focus. It’s a distinct perspective on conflict, showcasing how isolation and camaraderie can shape a soldier's experience. If you like character-driven war narratives that don’t shy away from the emotional weight, this one’s notable.
