Abstract
This paper enters the ongoing debate on the portrayal of old age in Ignacio Ferreras’s animated feature Arrugas (Spain, 2011). My approach to a new understanding of Ferreras’s film is two-fold: first, I engage with the often-overlooked animation to ask how it too contributes to the cinematic vision of later life; second, I aim to liberate Arrugas from the predominant binary discourses of successful aging/aging-as-decline often employed to understand the film. Drawing on theories of animation and aging, I highlight how Arrugas reflects later life as more complex, a notion central to Linn Sandberg’s theory of affirmative old age.
