| Summary: | [EN] This paper presents an analysis of a contemporary animated documentary that has been unanimously recognised as an extraordinary ethical and aesthetic example of the depiction of war through the personal recollections of a perpetrator: Waltz with Bashir (Ari Folman, 2008). To this end, an examination is offered of the narrative, thematic and expressive strategies of the film and their effect on the ethical engagement of the spectator in response to a barbaric act. In this way, through a clever combination of expressive effects characteristic of animation that deliberately distance the film from the hyperrealistic codes of classical filmmaking, and a heavily fragmented narrative structure that gives shape to a traumatic event experienced in the first person, Waltz with Bashir offers a powerful audiovisual discourse that elicits a profound degree of empathy from the spectator, encouraging a critical response to the events depicted. |
