Review of Harvie Krumpet (2003) by Alexis N — 01 Aug 2010
Wonderfully strange and sweet claymation film from Australia, directed by Adam Elliot, about a mentally disabled man who makes of life what he can as one bit of bad luck after another comes at him. The lesson is terrific; despite the obstacles, live life to the fullest, and in Harvie's case, that's becoming a nudist, marrying a nurse, adopting a handicapped baby, and cramming his scarred, magnetic head with as many "fakts" as possible.
Elliot won an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film, and the success led him to the brilliant, expanded "Mary and Max", which bears many similarities to Harvie, including it's warm, whacked sense of humor.
