FILM: Waltz With Bashir

The best movie of 2008? The most revealing war film ever made? The greatest animated feature to come out of Israel? (Jonathan Curiel—read sfchron review)


WATCH the TRAILER!

The whole movie seems like an acid trip - an Alice in Wonderlandish dream for a post-9/11 world where war is a constant - and that's the beauty of "Waltz With Bashir." Folman's work - which took two years to animate, and was done by a team of artists who combined hand-drawing with the latest technology - allows the audience to enter a kind of forbidden zone where the characters' fantasies seem as realistic as the deadly bullets they faced.
