Video of the Day: Cannes Fav 'Waltz with Bashir' Gets a Trailer
Filed under: Animation, Drama, Cannes, Fandom, Trailers and Clips
Waltz With Bashir, the first official trailer from cinemascopian.com on Vimeo.
An early Cannes favorite, Cinematical's Kim Voynar describes Waltz with Bashir as a "beautiful, disturbing and deeply compelling film" that "could wind up with an Oscar nod come January." The animation looks stunning (love the gold in those beach scenes), and I'd definitely agree with Spout's Karina Longworth who calls it "Grand Theft Auto: Beirut, Meets A Scanner Darkly" in the title of her post showcasing the trailer above. More from Kim's Cannes review: "Waltz with Bashir documents the struggle of the filmmaker, Ari Folman, to come to terms with the gaps in his memory surrounding the part he played in the first Lebanese war and the 1982 massacre of Palestinian civilians in the West Beirut refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila."

Beautiful! It also doesn't seem to have the mildly distracting rotoscoping that "A Scanner Darkly" has.

I don't doubt that cinemascopian.com broke out the news, but the official page has the same trailer fully internationalized (i.e. in English) since then at least. It's at
