The National Society of Film Critics has picked "Waltz With Bashir" as the best film of 2008—not bad for a film that doesn't hit Chicago theaters for a few weeks.
Ari Folman's animated documentary chronicles his coming to terms with repressed memories of his experiences with the Israeli army in the 1982 Lebanon war. The daring film, which is nominated for a Golden Globe for best foreign-language film and uses multiple animation techniques, has earned numerous accolades, including six awards from the Israeli Film Academy and best animated film from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association (which chose the animated "WALL-E" as best 2008 film). The film is scheduled to open Jan. 23 at three Chicago-area theaters: AMC Pipers Alley Theatre in Chicago, Cinemark Cine Arts in Evanston and Landmark's Renaissance in Highland Park.
Mike Leigh's "Happy-Go-Lucky" and Disney/Pixar's animated hit "Wall-E" tied for runner-up in the best picture category.
