overview
What is There Was No War in '72 about?
Somewhat autobiographical, the film opens right after the 6 day war, when Israelis euphoric with victory and the kids dress up as the captured Western Wall in Jerusalem. Now it is 1972. The film centers on a young boy, who is failing in school, and grounded from going on Passover trips with his classmates. Instead he must visit private academies (including military school) with his parents, who want him to do better in school. Foreshadowing to the coming war in 1973 and the defeat of euphoria. It blends drama, war elements. The film reflects a distinct Israel style and perspective. The story is brought to life by director David Kreiner. With a runtime of 1h 28m, it offers a concise viewing experience.
