See this film: Waltz With Bashir @ the MFA

Of late, animation has gone beyond kid stuff to historical tragedy. Witness Ari Folman's Waltz With Bashir (2008), a nightmarish, autobiographical memoir of the 1980s invasion of Lebanon from the point of view of a green Israeli soldier. The first film in the MFA's "Hollywood Scriptures" series, it's followed by a panel discussion with Steven Nisenbaum of the Harvard Medical School and Rina Folman, a psychologist at UMass Memorial Health Alliance. The Museum of Fine Arts is at 465 Huntington Ave, Boston | Thurday, April 14 @ 5 pm | $10; $8 students, seniors, MFA members | 617.267.9300 or mfa.org.
