(1984) Solider of Night/ Soldier of the Night/ Hayal Halayla
DUBBED
PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER/ DRAMA
Produced, written and directed by Dan Wolman that has an Israel soldier stabbed on the back with a knife and as it turned out there were two Israeli soldiers who were killed at that night. On the following day, a young man walks into a diner and he manages to hook up with a young waitress, Iris (Iris Kanner). We find out that the young man is Ze've (Yehuda Efroni) and that he lives in an apartment with a single mattress on the ground. However, by the time she wakes up, it appears he may be the killer who killed two Israeli soldiers since as soon as she wakes up, she can see he has muddy army boots and a knife that is identical to the one used at the opening. And for the rest of the movie, we know bits and pieces about Ze've, such as he sometimes works in the toy store and works there whenever he wants. When Iris questions Ze've, he often tells her that he works in "Special Forces" or that he is at times, undercover whenever he is not around during the night. The army uniform that he wears, came from a uniform shop, and the weapons he uses comes from other Israel soldiers after he knocks them out. During news stations and radio, it says there's an ongoing investigation, but it is like, not a single police officer or investigator had ever approached him, as if he was never a suspect in the first place, despite many indications he might be the culprit. And during the night, Ze've does these strange exercises such as using grenades and firing a machine gun as if those acts were not even noticeable from other Israel soldiers or from anyone. How can this be? The unforeseen killings went from being important to becoming unimportant as they do not appear to be reported anymore. If it was not for the nude scenes of a beautiful young actress, this movie might have been completely unwatchable.
