Mary and Max
LONELINESS AND ISOLATION IN DEVELOPED SOCIETIES
Mary Daisy Dinkle is eight years old and her eyes are the colour of a murky pond. Her favourite food is condensed milk, followed a very close second by chocolate. She’d like to have a friend who’s not made of shells, branches or chicken bones.
Max Jerry Horowitz is a lonely, severely obese 44 year-old Jewish atheist living in New York who suffers from Asperger’s Syndrome and is a chocolate, lottery and National Geographic addict. He wants to have a friend who’s not invisible, an animal or a plastic figurine.
This is the tale of an epistolary relationship lasting over 20 years of correspondence. It’s the story of a friendship directed by the Australian Adam Elliot, the man behind the short film trilogy: Uncle (1996), Cousin (1998) and Brother (1999); and Harvie Krumpet (2003), winner of the Academy Award for Best Animated Short.
