Mary and Max
Australian Claymation directed by Adam Elliot (who won an academy award for his short claymation Harvey Krumpet) that explores the friendship between a young girl (mary) from Australia and an adult man from New York (max) who suffers from Asperger syndrome. The striking visual style and the more adult tone of the film definitely makes it a niche film despite the fact that several well known actors are in it.
It opened Sundance earlier in the year and its still doing the international festival circuit. Its only in Australian cinemas atm and I have no idea when its going to be released outside of its domestic market.
