It has been a while since I have had anything of use to say. Or perhaps just a while since I have had the willpower to say it. But I was reminded recently that this is, at the very least, a good way to write about people that don’t get written about very often. Which brings me to the subject of this post.
Adam Elliot makes poignant, funny, sweet, sad, wonderful films. They are, in addition, technically astonishing and pristine- perfect plasticine animation in the tradition of all the greats of British and Australian animation. It is the subject matter, though. Touching, devastating stories of the odd one out… the people who are not quite like the rest of us, but who are still brilliant, glowing, human.
Most recently I watched Max and Mary, and I could not help but cry and laugh all at once. If you have any interest in animation, I would watch this.
