Stylistically, The Congress demonstrates
a significant departure from Waltz with Bashir (2008, Ari
Folman). The film is a combination of the animated sections and the real
setting. The setting is dynamically harmonious with the animated section. This
is Folman's fourth film. The narrative of the film revolves around the
progressive technology for future Hollywood. Though the film hints at the
corruption of corporate capitalism, the world of cinema in future is
subtly represented by choosing the animation art. Folman's film is very much a
fantasy/ science fiction film (influenced by Stanislaw Lem's novel, The
Futurological Congress). The choice of animation for the world of the
future allows the audience to maneuver in the realm of the
imagination. Not only does the director depict the
protagonist's adventure but he emphasizes her responsibility towards her
family and her concern for the future of the world of art and artist.
