Waltz with Bashir

Just got round to watching Waltz with Bashir, missed it at cinema, so I had to make do with the small screen. It tells the tale of a veteran of the 1982 Lebanon War with the focus being on Ari Folman who struggles to remember the events that took place and his own role in the carnage. It's brilliant, visually it's incredible, with each frame full of real depth and texture. It's great to see such a bleak subject matter depicted using a technique more commonly associated with kids films. The visual style adds to the story and the switch to actual footage only serves to make it feel more real and hard hitting. I’m not entirely sure how the scenes were created but I imagine footage was taken of locations and then the animators went to work; the end result is stunning. Check out the trailer below, as the man in Blockbusters said, it is "sick man!"
