Dec 25, 2008 · Waltz with Bashir Reviews - Metacritic. Summary One night at a bar, an old friend tells director Ari about a recurring nightmare in which he is chased by 26 vicious dogs. Every night, the same number of beasts. The two men conclude that there’s a connection to their Israeli Army mission in the first Lebanon War of the early eighties.
Waltz with Bashir is a slow, gradual, painful resurrection of repressed memories and images. Slowly the fog clears and Ari’s ghosts of the past take a shape. Only the mass murder in Sabra and Shatila remains a blank space until the end of the film.
