Waltz Im Bashir (2008)

One night at a bar, an old friend tells director Ari about a recurring nightmare in which he is chased by 26 vicious dogs. Every night, the same number of beasts. The two men conclude that there's a connection to their Israeli Army mission in the first Lebanon War of the early eighties. Ari is surprised that he can't remember a thing anymore about that period of his life. Intrigued by this riddle, he decides to meet and interview old friends and comrades around the world. He needs to discover the truth about that time and about himself. As Ari delves deeper and deeper into the mystery, his memory begins to creep up in surreal images.

Waltz with Bashir is a 2009 Golden Globe award-winning film directed by Ari Folman. It took four years to complete and is an international co-production between Israel, Germany, and France. It deals with the 1982 Sabra and Shatila massacre in the 1982 Lebanon War. The film combines classical music, 1980s rock music, realistic graphics and surrealistic scenes together with illustrations similar to comics. Almost all the film was made by means of animation, except for a short segment at the end of the film which shows the documented results of the Sabra and Shatila massacre in a news archive footage. The film belongs to a rare genre called "animated documentary". It entered the competition for the Palme d'Or at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, and received wide critical acclaim at its premiere, however lost in competition for the prizes despite predictions made during the festival week.

YOSSI & JAGGER by Eytan Fox (2002)

Yossi et Jagger sont officiers dans l'armée israélienne. Ils sont également amoureux l'un de l'autre. Leur rapport caché complique les choses à la base militaire où ils officient. Un très beau film, romantique et émouvant, que je recommande vivement. Bien sûr il ne faut pas être de ceux qui de voir deux hommes s'embrasser, en développent un choc anaphylactique.

A sociological study of two men in the Israeli army who are lovers. The others in the unit react to their situation, suspecting, but not always understanding. One will leave the military soon, a few months away, as a snowy and desolute outpost is guarded from attack.

Alila - Amos Gitaï (2002)

In Tel Aviv, the gloomy Ezra hires foreign workers without permits to build an addition to a homely block of flats where his ex-wife Mali lives with her current lover Ilan. Ezra and Mali's young son Eyal hates the army and is AWOL, living among prostitutes and drug dealers. Gabi, a beautiful young woman who's a friend of Mali's, is carrying on an affair with Hezi, an older man insisting on secrecy. Hezi rents an apartment at the building for their trysts. Neighbors complain about the noise of their lovemaking and of the construction. Lives revolve slowly one around another. "Everyone's out for himself," says Ezra of Israeli society. Suicide bombings and elections provide a backdrop.

La vie du vieux Schwarz s'écoule paisiblement dans son immeuble situé à la frontière entre Tel-Aviv et Jaffa, entre ses voisins Aviram, Mali et la jeune Philippine Linda qui s'occupe de lui. Mais l'arrivée de nouveaux voisins qui agrandissent leur appartement sans permis et la présence d'un homme et de sa maîtresse viennent troubler la quiétude des lieux.
