Jews on Film: Exploring Jewish Stories & Themes in Cinema Waltz with Bashir w/ Elan Golod
Daniel and Harry are joined by Elan Golod, director of "Nathan-ism," to discuss the 2008 film "Waltz with Bashir" directed by Ari Folman.
They cover the film’s exploration of memory and its malleability, dive deep into the distinction between historical truth vs story truth (and its relation to Jewish Midrash and the Seder), and make the case for why this film might be more Israeli than strictly Jewish.
As always, they close out the episode by ranking the film's "Jewishness" in terms of its cast & crew, content, and themes.
