Beaufort

Beaufort portrays the experiences of Liraz Liberti, a 22-year-old commander, and his troops as they navigate the complexities of retreat rather than traditional battle. Set against the backdrop of Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon, the film eschews conventional war tropes, focusing instead on the psychological impacts of fear and uncertainty. The bombing from above creates a tense atmosphere that shapes the soldiers' mission until the very end.

With a runtime of 131 minutes, this film invites viewers to reflect on the realities faced by young soldiers in dire situations. The top cast, including Oshri Cohen and Alon Aboutboul, delivers powerful performances that enhance the film's emotional depth. Beaufort's unique take on war, emphasizing retreat over combat, sets it apart within the genre and adds to its significance for collectors.
