TIFF: Top 10 New Faces & Voices: #3. Samuel Maoz
Winning Venice Film Festival’s top prize is certainly proof that Samuel Maoz did something right with his first feature film – what he made was a moving, well-crafted anti-war film statement on a shoe-string budget. How shoe-string was the picture? No actual tanks were used for 99 percent of the film. Moaz stripes away any unnecessary details – this is a psychological profile without extra trimmings.
