Waltz with Bashir** (18)
Phoenix Cinema, East Finchley
Israel/Fra/Ger/US/Japan/Fin/Belgium/Australia 2008. Bridgit Folman Gang/Les Films D'Ici/Razor Film/Arte France/ITVS International. 90m.
An Israeli film maker stuggles to reconcile his memories of the siege of Beirut in 1982 with friends and fellow witnesses.
Compelling animated docudrama which conveys certain potent images that would be harder (and more painful) to recreate in live action form. Grim, and rather subjective, but very imaginatively told.
Written and Directed by: Ari Folman.
Producers: Ari Folman, Serge Lalou, Yael Nahlieli, Gerhard Meixner, Roman Paul.
Animation: Yoni Goodman.
Music: Max Richter.

Was the Phoenix cinema worth a visit? How old is that place?
I'd been there before. That, along with the Odeon Muswell Hill up the road are two of my London favourites.
