Film No. 49 (2017) My Life as a Zucchini. July 14th.

Film No. 49 (2017) July 14th.  2.45 PM LUNA PALACE, Leederville.  (Revelation Perth International Film Festival).

"She really liked to drink beer, but sometimes we had fun" (Little Zucchini answers a question relating to his mother prior to his being moved to a childrens home).

Move over Nick Park and the Aardmann crew. Enter Rhone-Alps Studios Lyon, France. Claymation film-making takes another leap forward with this "cute as a button" film to lift the soul. In 60 minutes angelic Zucchini takes us from a major tragedy to the long held premise that good things often happen to good people. A fresh and optimistic light is held on life in a childrens home where our little hero experiences love he'd never imagined existed. Every scene presents a palate of colour and subtle movement. My Life is deserved of every accolade it has received over the past twelve months. 11GUMS.
