Despite its blaring phantasmagoria and hallucinatory nostalgia, the central image of Ari Folman's utterly spellbinding Waltz with Bashir is one of brilliant, serene calm. Bathed in street-lamp-yellow glow, three rail-thin soldiers emerge from a starless-black ocean, stark naked, and begin walking onto the shores of West Beirut. Accompanied only by the sustained synths and strings of Max Richter's ominous score, the image reemerges throughout the film, eventually leading to the film's shattering finale. read the full review | |

 | | 14. Waltz with Bashir (Blu-ray) | | | Director: Ari Folman | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 6/23/2009 |  | Waltz with Bashir - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Josh Lasser - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 6/30/2009 10:12 AM | | There are times when someone sits down to watch a film and after 90 minutes realize that they've been sitting there in stunned silence the entire time. Did they like it? Maybe, maybe not. Was it a good movie? Well, it was certainly a "good for you" movie. But was it fun, was it enjoyable? It was both technically impressive and entirely engrossing, but enjoyable, who knows. Perhaps, just perhaps, the person you're talking to just finished watching Waltz with Bashir. This 2008 release, which won a DGA award for Best Documentary, a Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film, and was nominated for an Academy Award in the same category is certainly an experience. read the full review | |
