Waltz with Bashir is playing at The Palace in the Plaza. It's a very unusual movie, for one thing its an animated documentary and for another it's only the second ever feature length animated movie to come out of Israel. The film is about a man trying to regain his memory of fighting in the war in Lebanon back in 1982. The movie was slower than I expected but definitely makes you think. It's got a stirring ending, that's all I'm going to say.
A little piece of trivia for you... this movie has been banned in all Arab countries. I read on the Waltz with Bashir Wikipedia site that there was one underground viewing of this movie in Beruit in January. I would have liked to have heard that group's response to the movie.
