Waltz with Bashir

Ari Folman / IL, FR, DE, US, FI, CH, BE, AU, 2008 / 90 min.

Animatiefilms gaan zelden over de werkelijkheid, laat staan over de verwerking van een maar al te reëel trauma. Deze getekende documentaire van de Israëliër Ari Folman, over een gruwelijke gebeurtenis uit zijn diensttijd, vormt de indrukwekkende uitzondering op die regel.

Part of

Shell Shock

The tormented Vietnam War veteran Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver, the soldiers suffering from PTSS in the documentary Crazy and the ex-tank commander of the animated film Waltz with Bashir share one thing: the urge to tell what happened to them in order to come to grips with it. Eye’s Shell Shock provides a forum for the cinematic representation of violent conflicts and traumatic memories.
