Your kind generosity keeps the reviews coming!
Writer/director Ari Folman adopts a graphic novel animated approach to reveal his haunting yet vague recollections of the 1982 Israeli Army invasion of Beirut of which he was an active participant.
The overall effect achieves a level of fearless honesty rarely found in any memoir form.
This is a movie you feel.
Folman witnessed the brutal massacre of Palestinian civilians at the hands of the Christian Phalangist militia.
Informed by confessional discussions with friends, the film gradually connects his abstract visions and short-circuited memory clips toward fleshing out the traumatic blocked events.
Visually inventive and viscerally sincere, "Waltz With Bashir" is a cathartic and unforgettable film that buffers a horrific event via a brilliant use of animation.
Rated R. 90 mins.
