The Attack

L'Attentat
Ziad DoueiriLebanon2012★★★★

A well-integrated Arab-Israeli surgeon in Tel Aviv — successful, apolitical, happy. Then a suicide bombing kills nineteen people, and the evidence points to his wife. He travels to the West Bank to find those who recruited her, and discovers that he belongs nowhere. Lebanese director Ziad Doueiri's most provocative film — banned by the Arab League for filming in Israel. A man who loses his country twice.
