“7 Days in Entebbe” is, as its name suggests, a pretty conventional ticktock of the 1976 hijacking of an Air France jetliner en route from Tel Aviv to Paris by members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Red Army Faction, a German leftist group. Or it would be conventional, were it not for the fact that the movie opens with a startling snippet of performance by Israel’s Batsheva Dance Company, making you wonder, for a second, whether you have stumbled into a screening of “Step Up 6″ by mistake.
The footage of the dance “Kyr,” a 1990 work by noted Israeli choreographer Ohad Naharin, features several dancers seated in a semicircle.
