"In the Aftermath of War: Ari Folman’s Waltz with Bashir
Ilana Garon ▪ March 5, 2009
AS AMBITIOUS as it is macabre, Ari Folman’s Waltz with Bashir introduces a new kind of film: an animated documentary. Based on Folman’s own experiences as a young soldier during Israel’s 1982 campaign in Lebanon—in particular, in the days leading up to the Sabra and Shatila massacres—the film focuses on the confusion, guilt, and trauma that stay with soldiers long after they come home from war.
The film, which was Israel’s submission to the foreign film category at this year’s Oscars, takes its name from a scene in which one of the young men in Folman’s unit, half mad with fear and adrenalin, fires rounds from his machine gun in a jaunty circular motion underneath building-sized posters of Bashir Gemayel—the Lebanese Phalangist party leader and Lebanese president-elect who was assassinated on September 14, 1982. Gemayel’s murder, which occurred only days before he was to take office, set off the chain of events that resulted in the massacre of Palestinians in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in southern Lebanon."
