Product Description
From Amazon.com
The moving Yossi & Jagger, at 65 minutes in length, has the focused impact and emotional clarity of a fine short story. A multiple award winner (among other prizes, Yossi & Jagger took a Best Actor honor for Ohad Knoller at the 2003 Tribeca Film Festival), this unusual love tale, set on a snowy Israeli-Lebanese border facing possible Hezbollah incursions, has an unexpected sweetness and buoyancy. Knoller plays square-jawed, no-nonsense Yossi, company commander of an Israeli Defense Forces unit exhausted from sleepless nights anticipating an ambush. The handsome, fun-loving Jagger (Yehuda Levi), nicknamed for his rock-star appeal, is platoon leader and, unknown to all, Yossi's secret lover. The two arrange trysts by going off together on missions, and while Jagger begs Yossi to leave the army when the former's service is up, Yossi reminds him that real life is not a romantic movie. Meanwhile, the platoon's other characters and a trio of visitors--a colonel (Sharon Reginiano) and his two female soldier-companions (Hani Furstenberg, Aya Koren)--prove to be a lot of fun sorting out everything from menus to love lives before their next, possibly lethal mission. Director Eytan Fox's naturalistic touch, and ability to highlight the expansiveness of mature love even in the most tragic and ironic of circumstances, is something to marvel at. --Tom Keogh

Powerful, passionate, tragic.,

This review is from: Yossi & Jagger (DVD)
I saw Yossi and Jagger @ a Jewish Film Festival. I wasn't sure what to expect!It was tender,funny, showed good insight into life during an Israeli tour of duty. The girls were great! I wish it could have been longer. I cried and cried at the ending.I searched and waited a year to buy this movie,I've watched it many times and highly reccomend it,it is one my favourite movies.Does anyone know the title of the song Rita sings? or who sings in the music video at the end? I'd prefer a hebrew version.

If you are looking for a gay themed movie...this is not the best movie.one scene wich star with a snowball fight, ends up with a passionate kiss. THATS IT. The story is more about the lives of the commandos in the front line of the war

About the dvd,

This review is from: Yossi & Jagger (DVD)
I haven't read all the other reviews but it seems that nobody cared to comment on the dvd itself, so as a regular buyer, I'll do that.The format is 1.33, and it doesn't look like celluloid. It seems to be some kind of 1 hour israeli tv-movie, so I guess maybe it was shot on video or something. Anyway don't be scared, this really matches the movie's documentary style and it's not a real drawback. I don't think the encoding is so good, but I'm no expert. About the movie, it's formulaic but good. I mean, halfway through you know exactly what is going to happen next, but till then it manages to be fresh and believable. And I think the ending will get you anyway, so I'd say, job done.
