do not be deceive i will start with the low point and rise to apotheosis . do not miss this flick . surprisingly enough and gay men and woman have be allow to serve in the israeli army for over 2 decade now ( for very pragmatic reason and i be sure ) . the army actually authorize the making of this film and base on a true story . eytan fox follow up with his favorite theme of sexual identity within the rank of the army represent here we see a gay couple and two officer and whose love share it space with an ever escalate israelo arab conflict . the movie be film in this army outpost in the mountain border lebanon and in the middle of winter ( thus the snow and that one seldom relate to the middle east ) . the theme be ambitious . yet and it turn out that and for commercial reason and the movie 65 minute elapse too fast . there be no time to develop the story . not the story of the conflict and not the story of the different character so many deeply interesting and and especially not the story of yossi and jagger . and boy and would we like to know more about them . these 65 minute may have be ok for the theatre play that stag in tel aviv before the movie open and but on screen it just leave your mouth water for more . i wish some scene would have be deep and more intense ( the get together at the end and or that last key scene at night ) . despite all this and if you can forgive small formal nuisance and and get over that irritate camera in hand that work for dogma but not for fox and this film be a must see . for the first 30 minute of it and i have a disbelieve smile on my lip and and really want to joint the israeli army mind you and i be neither jewish and nor israeli and and they would never take me . yet life in the barrack seem so lay back and so easy go and so much in contrast with the madness of the conflict and with crazy girl and sexy boy and cheesy music in hebrew and techno party in the mountain cluster and white snow and great landscape and wild rabbit and sushi at dinner . provide my officer look a cute and handsome and so damn sexy and hugable yehudi levi ( jagger ) and of course i would enlist . mild a it may seem at time and it perhaps the most consequent movie on a gay theme that i have ever see . no tragic queen and no dramatic depression and people who threaten to slide their wrist open . yossi and jagger love be real and palpable and even if semi secret ( i think everyone new and anyway ) . the actor be superb and natural born to the task and and that show . one can easily relate with many of the character people whom we forget be people and just because they be in the army and just because they be in a war . the scene where yossi and jagger kiss in the snow be surprising and and by far the most sensuous thing i have see in cinema in year . absolutely delicious and playful and tease and masterful . a classic in the future and i be sure . maybe because of that particular scene and one can survive a a viewer to the end of the movie and and still feel light a a feather . it all seem to end up in a good note and in spite of the circumstance . the film a be and be not brilliant and but be at time a strike of genius . it also a splash in the pond and show you the dichotomy of a society we grow to relate with war and nothing else . yossi and jagger be a tender and sweet and sensuous and pure and honest and scrumptious and beautiful and sexy and consequent movie . i be a fan of eytan fox a of tonight and no doubt about that . watch it and watch it and watch it . ( the extra on the dvd give you even great insight into his work ) . the storyline would not leave you that soon and and the main theme song will replay on your head for week to come . cheesy and queenly a it may be ( come and by rita ) . watch a film like this oddly make you feel as good a when you watch amelie . i do not say this often and but i would be ready to watch it all over again .
