Timing is everything, as Israeli ground troops invade Gaza. Today, the National Society of Film Critics has chosen “Waltz with Bashir” as the best picture of 2008. The film is an intense animated documentary about Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon. It follows Israeli director Ari Folman’s efforts to recover his own lost memories about the massacre during the war.
The group also named Sean Penn as best actor for his performance in the biopic ‘Milk’ and Sally Hawkins as best actress for her role in the comedy ‘Happy-Go-Lucky.” Forty-nine of the society’s 63 members voted in a meeting in New York.
