Preview: Lebanon (2010)

Synopsis:

Exploring war through the gunsights of a tank, the feature follows several soldiders during the first Lebanon War.

• Poster: B

Review:

Although it's entirely transparent, the juxtaposition of a quiet, sunflower field and a massive tank rolling through is not easily lost on the audience.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

I could have done without the lame "Das Boot but in a tank" quote used in the trailer. It devalues most of what's being presented in the trailer, which seems to be a geuinine, honest attempt at exploring the psychology of a war zone through those not able to see the full picture.

Oscar Prospects:

An Oscar submission would not only be in line, it might even work.

Release Date:

• August 6, 2010
