OK, this movie is really amazing. It's extremely intense, and I want to do more research into the making, but from what I can tell...here's the deal:
The story is told by an Israeli filmmaker/artist who was a young soldier at the time of the Lebanese Civil War, and more importantly the Sabra and Shatila massacres...but he's created a mental block of those events in his later life. As he begins to flash back, spurred by his companions for those events, he starts a journey of investigation to learn of his own role in it all.
The film is animated, the style of which is very dark with moments of extreme realism combined with almost surreal comic book, reminding me a bit of Bakshi, but I'm not sure it would have been as effective as it is any other way.
The resulting journey, how it relates to his own experiences during WWII and the Holocaust, his deep guilt, is all told in a way that you can't stop watching.
This may have been the best movie of 2008 actually.
