Screen memory in Waltz with Bashir
Stewart, Garrett. 2012. Film Quarterly 63, no. 3: 58-62.
Garrett Stewart argues animation and documentary-style filmmaking/writing enhance the constructed nature of memory and trauma in Ari Folman’s 2008 documentary Waltz With Bashir. This makes the film’s ending (especially the switch from animation to actual footage) all the more poignant and haunting for the viewer.
