Cannes Film Festival:Day 3

3 months ago 17th May 16:17

The film’s main character is director Ari Folman himself who realises that there are major parts of his life, his experience as an Israeli soldier during the Lebanon war of the eighties, missing from his memory.

Ari decides to meet up with old friends and comrades to discover the truth about this time and about himself.

Folman unflinchingly depicts what young men do in a time of war and the atrocities of which humans are capable as well as pointing the finger at those he deems responsible.

Despite not having American distribution when premiered Waltz With Bashir is in the running for the Palme d’or.
