Ari Folman | Israel | Germany | France | 2008 | 90′
Nominated in four categories at the European Film Awards, Ari Folman’s celebrated animated documentary on the 1982 Lebanon war is an extraordinary, harrowing, provocative picture that does not hold back from showing the full horrors and futility of war. Ari, an Israeli Army veteran of the first Lebanon War, is surprised that he can’t remember a thing anymore about that period of his life. As he delves deeper into the mystery, his memory begins to return in surreal and disturbing images. Based on a true story, this is a film of undiluted power.
Wedi ei enwebu mewn pedwar categori yng Ngwobrau Ffilm Ewrop, mae ffilm ddogfen animeiddiedig clodfawr Ari Folman ar ryfel Lebanon ym 1982 yn bortread rhyfeddol, cignoeth a phryfoclyd nid yw’n osgoi dangos erchyllterau ac oferedd rhyfel. Mae Ari, cyn-filwr ym Myddin Israel yn synnu nad yw’n gallu cofio unrhywbeth yn fwy am y cyfnod hwnnw yn ei fywyd. Wrth iddo gloddio’n ddyfnach i’r dirgelwch, mae ei gof yn dechrau dod yn ôl gyda delweddau swrrealaidd ac ysgytiol. Wedi ei seilio ar stori wir, dyma ffilm o rym pur.
