Review of Waltz with Bashir (2008) by Jens S — 01 Jul 2012
Waltz with Bashir is one of the most fascinating animated films to have come out in years. Ari Folman crafts an interesting autobiography by blending animation with documentary film making to create one of the best art house/surrealist films in a long time.
Perhaps made by guilt, we see a side of history which is not often highlighted in film. This is a film which shows exactly what animation can do and can be used for. Ralph Bakshi broke the barrier in the 70's but it's Folman who smashes through the walls with the force of a locomotive with a film as good and as profound as this.
Fans of animation should see this film, if only to know there are no limits as to what this medium can do.
