Taking a break from the top 10 (there will be a lot of them) to log some more films I saw in the past week...
MARY AND MAX (2009)
via Sundance On Demand
This is a really powerful movie, one that combines a perfect style of animation with tone and story into something pretty emotionally devastating, but in a unique way. The animator Adam Elliot had some earlier animated shorts that sting in the same way, and which might be essential prerequisite viewing before diving into this. So glad I was able to find this.
MERMAID (2007)
via Sundance On Demand
WIFF 2009
A short description would be a Russian Amelie, but imagine general Russian bleakness being pushed onto a whimsical tale and this is what you get. Found myself a little disengaged and distracted by this one and the flights of fancy it takes. But its a good weird performance by the female lead.
