Ari Folman (The Congress, Waltz With Bashir) returns with Where Is Anne Frank?, a beautifully realised animated feature that explores Anne Frank’s life, her diary, and her legacy.
In modern Amsterdam, Kitty – the imaginary friend addressed in Anne Frank’s writings – comes to life and attempts to find Anne, but searching through the streets of the city, she slowly discovers the author’s legacy and the on-going importance of her work.
A sophisticated exploration of the diary, of our reading of history, and Anne Frank’s biography, Where Is Anne Frank? helps frame the work and should introduce the Diary to new audiences. Essential viewing.
