I imagine its already been on here, but can't say I noticed it. I'm going to rent Persepolis while I wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willywonka Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 http://waltzwithbashir.com/home.html It's an autobiographical animation, a very personal documentary about the memories and traumas of war.... Folman was a soldier at the Lebanon War in 1982... After meeting a friend who tells him he's been having nightmares with 26 raged dogs running after him and attacking him (the same number of people he killed in the war) Ari F. recalls he has lost all the memories from that time so he tries to recover them by meeting his brothers in arms and he tries to reconstruct all his war past with a lot of sorrow and intense interviews...
