“Waltz With Bashir”
Ari Folman is still haunted by his Israeli military service during the 1982 invasion of Lebanon. He was in Beirut during the Sabra and Shatila massacres, when Palestinian refugees were killed by Lebanese militiamen. Folman tries to reclaim his lost memories in “Waltz With Bashir,” but unlike most documentaries, the film is animated.
