Inner West Meetup - MARY AND MAX

Hi Inner West Movie Monsters!

And now for something completely different.....if you loved the animation of HARVEY KRUMPET, you will want to know about our Saturday late arvo/early evening Meetup - MARY AND MAX.

From the creators of the Academy Award-winning short Harvie Krumpet, MARY AND MAX is a uniquely moving new claymation feature that at first appears deceptively simple.

It's a tale of pen-friendship between two very different people; Mary Dinkle (voiced by Toni Collette), a chubby lonely 8-year-old girl living in the suburbs of Melbourne, and Max Horovitz (voiced by Philip Seymour Hoffman), a 44-year-old, severely obese, Jewish man with Asperger's Syndrome living in the chaos of New York. Spanning 20 years and 2 continents, Mary and Max's friendship survives much more than the average diet of life's ups and downs...

Like Harvie Krumpet, MARY AND MAX is innocent but not naive, as it takes us on a journey that explores friendship, autism, taxidermy, psychiatry, alcoholism, where babies come from, obesity, kleptomania, sexual difference, trust, copulating dogs, religious difference, agoraphobia and much much more.

Coffee, gelato or pasta (or all 3) at the Gelato Bar, Norton Street, Leichhardt afterwards.

See you at the movies!
