"Do you ever have flashbacks from Lebanon?"
"No. No, not really."
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....( read more)
A fantastic film with amazing animation. This could have been an interesting documentary but instead, Folman had the insight and the originality to produce what is one of the truly brilliant contemporary films of the last few years. Highly recommended!
Direct from Israel, a powerful political film that's artfully animated. My only gripe is that it's painfully slow in pacing, as if director Ari Folman was trying to stretch sixty minutes of material into an hour and a half.
a slow burn to a shattering climax as an ex-soldier fights to recover his memories of the lebanon war 20 years earlier. the stunning animation alone would make it well worth watching. it's not about who won or lost but about how soldiers deal with the horrors they witness and c...( read more)
A perfect film. In every aspect. An amazing opening, and streaks of animation and music that will linger on my mind for a long time to come. It's also educating, I didn't know anything about Libanon or this massacre (in my defence, I wasn't born when it happened, but still) and n...( read more)

A cena em q ele visita amig de barba ruiva ´muito boa... não a cena em si, mas tudo o q acontece ao redor dos dois...
Ari Folman consegue nos chocar e nos emocionar com os fatos narrados e apresentados por ele e por pessoas que tiveram alguma ligação com a guerra e consequentemente, com sua vida. Surge um novo gênero no cinema: documentário-autobiográfico-animado.
The flatness and stiff, jerky movement of the drawing contribute to the dreamlike, increasing dread-filled atmosphere of the visuals, which burst finally into actual filmed images of devastating impact. full review
The film looks ripped straight from Folman's psyche and placed in a theater near you. full review
A powerful, poignant and provocative film, told in an unconventional and effective fashion. full review
An extraordinary achievement, Ari Folman's Waltz With Bashir is a detective story as well as an moral inquiry into the specific horrors of one war, and one man's buried memories of that war. full review
Folman is an Israeli documentarian who has not worked in animation. Now he uses it as the best way to reconstruct memories, fantasies, hallucinations, possibilities, past and present. This film would ... full review
The film, devastating and distressing in equal measure, widens in meaning as it narrows in scope. full review
Waltz With Bashir is a supremely courageous act, not only as a piece of filmmaking, but much more so as a moral testament. full review
Folman uses striking, fluid, tactile imagery to illustrate the elastic nature of memory, ranging from snow and water to the feel of a tank navigating a city's narrow streets to more surreal, dreamlike... full review
Extraordinary and painfully timely. full review
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Vals Im Bashir (Waltz with Bashir)" !
