Winner of the Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize in Venice last year, Samuel Maoz’s Foxtrothighlights the absurdities of conscripted military service in a provocative and resonant reflection on modern Israeli life. Michael and Dafna are devastated when army officials show up at their home to announce the death of their son Jonathan. The horror of receiving the worst news possible is heightened when they discover that there is something untoward about the circumstances.
Followed by a Q&A with dir. Samuel Maoz
