Invasion Of 'Lebanon,' An Intense Thriller

by Iris Mann, NPR

The movie Lebanon, which won the Golden Lion at last year's Venice Film Festival, tells the story of an Israeli tank crew during the 1982 invasion of Lebanon from the crew's perspective. It's shot entirely inside the tank, so the audience sees only what the crew sees through viewfinders, view slats and inside the cramped quarters.
