‘Beaufort’ Nominated for an Oscar
The Israeli film Beaufort has been nominated for an Academy Award in the “Best Foreign Language Film” category.
Beaufort tells the story of a group of Israeli soldiers stationed in southern Lebanon during the 2000 war. Based on the novel by Ron Leshen, the film centers around Liraz Liberti, a 22-year-old outpost commander, and his troops in the months before Israel pulled out of Lebanon.
According to Entertainment Weekly, director “Joseph Cedar has created a movie of tremendous power — nerve-racking, astute, and neutral enough to apply to all soldiers, in all wars, everywhere.”
The film has already earned 7 nominations and 5 awards worldwide, including “Best Director” at the Berlin International Film Fesitval. Definitely a must-see!

Good article on an interesting movie.Why not talk about ” Disengagement” by Amos Gitai or ” Lemontrees” who also were critically acclaimed ?
Israeli cinema is blossoming.
