Vals Im Bashir (Waltz with Bashir) (2008, R)
An animated documentary account of the Israeli intervention of '82 into the Lebanese Civil War in support of the President, Bashir Gemayel. It's both visually and acoustically beautiful with nice 3D effects combined with Max Richter's haunting tracks. Uniquely, by way of its animated format, it manages to combine the first person combat scenes of the war movie genre together with the style of TV documentaries like "Death of Yugoslavia" where through interviews with the witnesses and protagonists it provides a lasting record of the tragic events that unfold. It's depressing, it's meant to be, but it's worth a viewing. |
