The death of an upper-class Israeli couple's soldier son sparks a series of absurd events in this drama that won the top award at Venice Film Festival.
"Unable to find solace in the well-meaning condolences of their extended family or the empty patriotic platitudes of bureaucrats, Michael (Lior Ashkenazi, Footnote) spirals into anger, only to subsequently experience one of life's unfathomable twists — a twist that can only be rivaled by the surreal military experiences of his son. Moving from the grieving parents' apartment to the remote military post where Jonathan (Yonaton Shiray, A Tale of Love and Darkness) was stationed, Foxtrot shows us precisely how much damage can ensue when young soldiers, barely able to tell their toe from a trigger, experience boredom, privation, and loneliness." (Toronto International Film Festival)
