IвЂ™ll admit IвЂ™d never heard of this film prior to Lisa bringing it home from the video store the other night. Max lives alone, although he is accompanied through his life by his imaginary friend Mr Ravioli, as well as numerous short-lived goldfish and a housekeeper seemingly older than time itself.

Max, meanwhile, attends his regular overeaters anonymous classes, watching his favourite TV show (which happens to be the same as MaryвЂ™s favourite show!) and eating chocolate hotdogs. Yes, MaryвЂ™s life is quite sad, although her communication with Max allows her to begin overcoming lifeвЂ™s little difficulties. MaryвЂ™s other major issue is her poo coloured birthmark on her forehead, something which other children delight in abusing her over. MaryвЂ™s family is utterly dysfunctional her father engages in taxidermy as a hobby, and her mother is a sherry drinking, chain smoking thief, and not a very good role model. Max, who has panic attacks while reading MaryвЂ™s letters, becomes her pen-pal, since they are essentially both lonely souls pining for human contact they can appreciate. The letter arrives in the mailbox of Max Horovitz, an overweight, middle aged New Yorker who suffers from AspergerвЂ™s Syndrome. Mary, an 8 year old girl living in 1970вЂ™s Mount Waverley in Australia, sends a letter to a random person in America while waiting for her kleptomaniac mother to finish stealing envelopes at the post office. Since then, his time had been taken up producing this little gem of a film, which, while perhaps not as well known as Wallace & Gromit, has just as much warmth and depth as the British duo, and in fact is a vastly more emotional journey for an audience. Elliot came to prominence a few years back when he won an Oscar for directing the short film Harvey Crumpet, which also used the claymation style, in 2003. Made using the claymation animation method made famous by the Aardman Studios, Mary & Max was made right here in Australia and released back in 2008. Local boy made good AdamВ Elliot has brought us a whimsical, beautiful, gorgeously simple film in Mary & Max. Review : Utterly charming animated film from Oscar winner Adam Elliot, and a vastly underrated gem, this film is essential viewing for fans of both good quality storytelling and surprisingly brilliant (and effective) animation. As they get older, their friendship is put through itвЂ™s paces as their lives take strange and dramatic turns. Synopsis: Mary, a young Australian girl, becomes pen pals with Max, a New York resident whose eccentricities stem from AspergerвЂ™s Syndrome. Cast : Philip Seymour Hoffman, Eric Bana, Toni Collette, Barry Humphries, Bethany Whitmore
