If you didn't see Waltz with Bashir in the theater, you have the opportunity to correct that mistake today on DVD. It is rare that a film so perfectly combines a complex, powerful story with such dazzling visual technique. Concerned with lost memories surrounding the 1982 Lebanon War, this is a must-see film for any fan of cinema (or history for that matter). Confessions of a Shopaholic is not such a picture. Pink Panther 2 is not such a picture. Inkheart is not such a picture. Thankfully, both My Dinner with Andre and Last Year at Marienbad are.

I'm pretty sure that The Code went straight to DVD, but for the life of me I can't remember and damned if I'm too lazy to look it up. Honestly, wouldn't Morgan Freeman's sonorous tones capture your attention even in a bad movie? If My Dinner with Andre sounds too high-brow, maybe try My Dinner with Jimi? Or, better, watch Andy Kaufman's hilarious My Breakfast with Blassie! Everyone knows that hot dads like young chicks, but who knew that hot moms liked them, too? And how the hell did Tit Queens of the Past, Vol. 8 slip, uh, past me?

yay.
Visually speaking, it's like Waking Life meets Sin City.
Agreed. It's marvelous. How did it not win the Oscar for best Foreign Film? I thought Departures was very good (as was The Baader Meinhof Complex), but Waltz with Bashir was clearly the superior film, both in form and invention.
Waltz with Bashir is an excellent, excellent film and was totally robbed for the Best Foreign Pic Oscar. Max Richter's score is the best soundtrack I've heard in a long time...
