About This Movie

Savoy (2022) dives deep into a turbulent moment in history, capturing the chaotic atmosphere of the 1975 terrorist attack on the Savoy Hotel. The film plays out through the lens of a hostage's diary, revealing the complexities of human interaction during crisis—particularly the role of a remarkable woman who brokered dialogue between Fatah and the IDF. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative at times, allowing viewers to absorb the tension and weight of each moment.
