Waltz with Bashir

David Polonsky:
This is based on a photograph that they took of the promenade in Tel Aviv. The interesting thing again is the play between this frame and Image 2 -- this is Tel Aviv and Image 2 is Beirut. And the fact that they're so similar and that he's remembering here in Tel Aviv what happened there. I wasn't able to go to Beirut because I have an Israeli passport so I'm basing everything on reference but you get the strong sense that the landscapes are very similar because it's the same weather, same sea. The film's opening scene with the dogs in this eerie light -- it's not clear if it's dawn or dusk and the streets are empty, but that's a hallucination. With the brooding colour here, we're trying to reinvoke this feeling when it's really lousy weather. Imagine this at night, not even dogs would come out...
