The Lookout (Hebrew: שורו, translit. Shuroo) is a 1990 Israeli comedy film directed by Savi Gabizon. It stars Moshe Ivgy, Moshe Ferster, and Keren Mor. The film is about a "small-time con man who becomes a guru".^[1] Critically acclaimed, it won the Ophir Award for Best Film and garnered numerous Best Actor awards for Ivgy at the Israeli Academy Awards and Haifa Film Festival.^[2] It was submitted by Israel to the Academy Awards.

Asher Yeshuron (Moshe Ivgi), a failed businessman, lacks integrity but is charismatic, is trying to promote the sales of his book, "To Drive Out the Crow." His life changes when he was a guest on a TV show, after being deemed by a cult to be a spiritual leader. Inside the cult, there are betrayals, secrets, and passions. The film unfolds the story of people seen as typical Tel Avivians of the eighties and nineties.
