Director Ari Folman attributed the cause of war to “small leaders with big egos” at the Variety Screening Series for his acclaimed film, Waltz With Bashir, reports Variety. Folman said, “It is a universal story in the end. Although it is very personal, it could have been told anywhere. It could have been told by anyone who woke up one morning in a remote city, far away from home, far away from his family, his love; then he starts asking himself questions like, ‘What the hell am I doing here? I might die in the next hour and why?’”. Waltz with Bashir, which is Israel’s official Oscar entry, will see a limited release in US theatres starting December 25.
