Waltz with Bashir

70100415

Utilizing vivid black-and-white animation in this winner for Best Foreign Language Film, director Ari Folman documents his quest to explore the memory gaps in his life during his service for the Israeli army in the Lebanese war of the early 1980s. Recounting several story vignettes based on recorded interviews with colleagues and friends, Folman explores the horrors of war and the curious coping mechanisms that mankind uses to survive and function under brutal circumstances.

Rating: ★★☆☆☆

Just like No Man’s Land, I feel this is an award winner due to being a political hot topic.

The story is fine.  The animation is fine.

Over-hyped… at least all these nominations never came to fruition.
