A cartoon, but that hardly does it any justice.
An autobiographical film by the writer and director, Ari Folman when as a 19-year-old infantry soldier in the Israel Defence Forces witnessed the Sabra and Shatila massacre in Beirut. It was perpetrated by the Christian Phalangists, but with the tacit support of Israel against the Palestinian refugees, the reality of which he is unable to remember but haunted by in dreams.
The art work at times is quite breathtaking, only the humans appearing very cartoon like, and had me on the edge of my seat throughout. Surprisingly even the Sex Pistols get in on the film and soundtrack.
9/10
