Folman and Polonsky … focus on illuminating its humor, insight, and supporting cast in this spirited graphic adaption … Anne, drawn with large dark eyes, blooms like the hardiest, loveliest weed-a moody teenager whose wit, self-awareness, and rich fantasy life take center stage … The beauty of Anne’s life and the untarnished power of her legacy-here further elevated by Folman and Polonsky-are heartening reminders of the horror of her fate.

Evocatively crafted, this comic brings Frank’s world to life for all ages but takes care to respect and prioritize the primacy of her story in her own words.

Anne Frank was born on 12 June 1929. She died in Bergen-Belsen, three months short of her sixteenth birthday.

Ari Folman is a film director, screenwriter and film score composer, who directed the Oscar-nominated Waltz with Bashir.
