Waltz With Bashir is not so much an "animated documentary" than it is a surreal work of art based on a true story. Narration and extraordinary visuals are interweaved in this recount of the 1982 Lebanon War in a way that live-action cannot. Ari Folman has at once crafted a psychedelic "LSD induced" tale that is also haunting in showing the way war affects an individual and how a human copes with horrible, horrible events.
