One of the most powerful movies I've seen in years.
Waltz With Bashir is an incredible tour de force. Ari Folman shows his tremendous film making skill by venturing out into the normally tame area of animation to tell his story of war, destruction and the importance of human life. Even the slower bits of dialogue intrigue the viewer as he/she is swept up into the stunning visuals of the piece. There are plenty of characters in the story to maintain the viewers interest, but not too many to distract from the main storyline pertaining to the protagonist, who happens to be Folman himself. Additionally, the ending of the film (which I won't share in this review for fear of ruining it for others) left me speechless. I can't remember the last time a film left me at such a loss for words. Please do yourself a favor and see this film as soon as possible.
One more thing: I (and numerous media outlets and reviewers) predict that this film will win the Academy Award for Best Foreign Feature.
