"Waltz with Bashir" is an animated journey into the depths of the memory of director and screenwriter Ari Folman, as he tries to piece together a missing fragment of memory from the three days of the Sabra and Shatila massacre, September 1982. What begins with twenty-six crazed dogs running in a fit of rage down Rothschild Boulevard in Tel Aviv continues with brief meetings with childhood friends in snowy Holland, takes a psychedelic turn in the clubs of early-1980s Haifa, and homes in on the surreal Beirut of the war days. Human memory is deceptive, and only free-form drawings combined with frantic animation can, perhaps, get a grip on those missing days from the distant past.
