Avanti Popolo (Hebrew: אוונטי פופלו) is a 1986 Israeli drama film directed by Rafi Bukai.[1] The film was selected as the Israeli entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 59th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.[2]
The film's name is derived from the opening words of the Italian revolutionary song Bandiera Rossa, which is sung by the film's protagonists, very non-heroic Israeli and Egyptian soldiers wandering the Sinai Desert in the aftermath of the 1967 War.
