Based on Actual Events

When it comes to the Oscars, I'm usually at a loss for the nominees for Best Foreign Language Film.

It's not much of a surprise since the award is often used to help launch flicks in funny languages for us ignorant Americans (note the scathing sarcasm here, since I know there are plenty of us willing to read our films).

This year there's serious buzz building around Waltz with Bashir, an Israeli entry that is now trickling out here stateside.

I finally found a trailer for the movie, and frankly it looks like it could be amazing. An striking animated look at the price war can take on an individual, the tease alone has a fresh vibrancy that has me excited to see it whenever it meanders its way here to Denver.



It's fantastic that this is clearly not your warm and fuzzy Pixar.

It just goes to show that with a little imagination, animation is clearly a very relevant medium for movie lovers of all ages.
