War movie, but for long stretches it feels more like science fiction. The small band of Israeli soldiers who are its main — virtually its only — characters inhabit a mountain outpost in southern Lebanon that might as well be a space station marooned in a hostile galaxy.

The men spend most of their time inside its heavily fortified walls, trundling down coffin-shaped corridors in space suit like combat gear and bracing for the next round of attacks from an invisible enemy. Their lives are governed by tedium, claustrophobia and anxiety, and yet they clearly feel something like affection for the bleak, isolated place that has become their home.

It is, by the way, a real place. Beaufort Castle, a fortress built during the Crusades, was captured by Israel in the 1982 invasion of Lebanon and held until the Israeli withdrawal in 2000.

It suggests that, for those who fight, the futility of war is inseparable from its nobility
