    Though Kippur seems a creature radically different -- more nakedly autobiographical, more naturalistic, more forgiving -- from Gitai's highly conceptual and stylized body of work, there are clear thematic continuities.

    Don't miss it.
  3. Immerses you in violence and agony, but it may leave you with a curious feeling of detachment.
