Folman’s unique mixing of documentary aesthetics with cutting-edge Flash and traditional forms of animation creates the perfect medium to convey the slippery edges between past and present, real and imagined, dreamed and remembered. While powerfully unique in its aesthetic design, the film is nevertheless strangely familar in the way it incorporates a wide range of styles that are both classically cinematic and aggressively postmodern in their evocation of new forms of multimedia and online aesthetics. Told primarily in burnished shades of gold and gray, it feels like a fever dream, but moves forward with the churning internal logic and dogged persistence of something carefully constructed.
