Movie review: WALTZ WITH BASHIR


I’ve been away from this blog for a long time, but there is a movie that impressed me so much I need to write a review.

I just watched the best animation of all: Waltz with Bashir. It is not only one of the most beautiful movies I ever saw, but also the most chocking. Much more visually impressive than the Avatar blockbuster and much deeper than The Hurt Locker (just to mention the major Oscar nominees this year).


It’s like an Israeli “Apocalypse Now”, “Full Metal Jacket” and “Schindler’s List” all together.


The movie broke me. It is a masterpiece for the eyes and ears, a catharsis for the soul and a confession for the next generations.

The greatness of a person (or a people) it’s the size of his self-critics.
