With a line up of voice talents including Toni Collette, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Barry Humphries, the cinematic release of Adam Elliot’s Mary And Max is something we’re very happy to tell you about.
The film is getting its UK release next week and there’s a Q&A with Producer Melanie Coombs at the Odeon Covent Garden on the 22nd of October.
MARY AND MAX is a clayography feature film from Academy Award® winning writer/director Adam Elliot and producer Melanie Coombs, featuring the voice talents of Toni Collette, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Barry Humphries and Eric Bana.
Spanning 20 years and 2 continents, MARY AND MAX tells of a pen-pal relationship between two very different people: Mary Dinkle (Collette), a chubby, lonely 8-year-old living in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia; and Max Horovitz (Hoffman), a severely obese, 44-year-old Jewish man with Asperger’s Syndrome living in the chaos of New York City.
The Film will be showing at the following cinemas from 22nd October:
- Odeon Covent Garden
- Bristol Watershed
- Manchester Cornerhouse
- Sheffield Showroom
- Nottingham Broadway
- Greenwich Picturehouse
- Liverpool Fact
- IFI Dublin
There are details of a couple of UK competitions over at the film’s website here.
Here’s the trailer, which is pretty great.
