Review of Waltz with Bashir (2008) by Elin G — 04 Nov 2009
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 now I do. Because I asked. I asked everyone around me about Libanon. So now I know, and I will remember. That matters.
The creative choise to make this documentary as an animation was the brilliant streak that made it magical. We have seen documentarys with sad old men talking about thier war experiences before. We had never seen this. The blend of mediums, and the way they complement each other and formed something stronger than the individual pieces. A landmark film, and not only in animation.
