"Valse avec Bachir" (Waltz with Bashir) directed by Ari Folman.
1h27 - 2008 - Animation / Documentary / War / Biography - with English subtitles - +18

An Israeli film director interviews fellow veterans of the 1982 invasion of Lebanon to reconstruct his own memories of his term of service in that conflict.

"Waltz With Bashir isn't only a harrowing anti-war plea, it is also an eloquent and deeply moving argument that it is critical to never forget human atrocity, lest the past be repeated."  -  Miami Herald

"It is personal filmmaking of the highest order, recognized with an Academy Award nomination for best foreign film."  -  Chigaco Tribune

"The images of war that Folman and his chief illustrator, David Polonsky, conjure up have a feverish, infernal beauty. Dreams and reality jumble together."  -  Newsweek
