Help me remember the name of this acclaimed recent indie film.
Within the past couple months, I read somewhere online about a new independent film. I'm not sure if it had won an award or just gotten a lot of praise from critics--I seem to remember the phrase "film of the year" being used. I remember that the film used animation (maybe along with, or over top of video footage) and dealt with both personal and philosophical issues. It may have been compared to Waking Life or I just might have thought it sounded similar. I think that the director was Asian-American, and maybe the film talked about the Asian-American immigrant experience and ideas of reincarnation. I believe the website of the film had a brown background with an image of a many-legged insect crawling across it. Do you know of any films this could be? Thanks!

This is probably not it, but the new animated documentary about the 1982 Lebanon war, Waltz with Bashir, has been mentioned in the same breath as Waking Life lately as both films use rotascoping techniques.
