Adam Elliot's "Mary and Max"
Starting 23 April 2011
Adam Elliot’s clay animation tale of a lifelong pen-friendship between Mary, a Melbourne girl with a fervent imagination, and Max, a misanthropic New Yorker, was five years in the making. Having garnered a cache of international awards, the director of ‘Harvey Krumpet’ and Academy Award winner, now returns to show ‘Mary and Max’ in cinemas nationwide.
In an age of instantaneous communication and enhanced isolation, this film captures the sublime core of loneliness through the intricate pathos and sharply contrasting world of its characters, and some of the harsher realities of their lives. Made by a team of 6 animators working at a rate of 4 seconds per day, the acutely detailed layers accumulated through a strenuous collaboration by some of Australia’s best film industry professsionals, this is a definitive statement in clay animation.
The cast includes Bethany Whitmore, Toni Collette, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Eric Bana, Renee Geyer, Ian ‘Molly’ Meldrum, Julie Forsyth and Barry Humphries in key roles.
In cinemas on 23 April 2011
