Waltz with Bashir (Hebrew: ואלס עם באשיר‎, translit. Vals Im Bashir) is a 2008 Israeli animated documentary film written and directed by Ari Folman. It depicts Folman in search of his lost memories from the 1982 Lebanon War.
This film and $9.99, also released in 2008, are the first Israeli animated feature-length films released in movie theaters since Alina and Yoram Gross's Ba'al Hahalomot (1962). Waltz with Bashir premiered at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival where it entered the competition for the Palme d'Or, and since then has won and been nominated for many additional important awards while receiving wide acclaim from critics. It won a Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, an NSFC Award for Best Film, a César Award for Best Foreign Film and an IDA Award for Feature Documentary, and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, a BAFTA Award for Best Film Not in the English Language and an Annie Award for Best Animated Feature.
Anyone know where we can find it?
I found it at Blockbuster.
It was a really good movie.

check online or something
I got it from HMV the other day, I've yet to watch it.
I actually bought the graphic novel first, then I realized it was a film in the same style as the graphic novel and I was like I should check it out.
There's punctuation needed somewhere in that sentence...
I first learned about this movie when I was on vacation in France, saw a poster for it and I though it looked interesting and I'll have to check it out when I get back home. It seemed difficult to find in North America for whatever reason, at least at first release. Great movie though, I didn't really know anything about the Lebanon war until I saw this.
I thought it looked decent, but I can't help but think of A Scanner Darkly when someone brings this one up.
I loved this movie
I know someone named Bashir, and I have yet to waltz with him. On another note, I will be looking for that film the next time I'm in a video rental place.
