Waltz With Bashir
I saw the animated sorta-documentary Waltz With Bashir a while ago at the San Francisco Animation Festival. It was amazing, and packed with indelible images; here’s the trailer.
It’s worth seeking out if you’re watching all the horror in Gaza and feeling (again) that need to attend, somehow, to what’s happening.
Lebanon — the subject of Waltz With Bashir — isn’t Gaza, and of course all war in the Middle East isn’t the same, but even so, this movie has a lot to offer, especially right now.
(Um. Take a minute before you read the next post or your brain will explode from the sudden shift in gravity.)

I'm dying to see this. It's not out yet in Minneapolis, and I'm not sure whether it'll come to our dear little indie theater in Columbia.
