	Zeta Minor DVD Review - Harvie Krumpet
		Harvie Krumpet tells the life story of a Harvek Milos Krumpetzki, a boy born in Poland in 1922.
		Harvie Krumpet is beautifully narrated by Geoffrey Rush, as if it were a story he was telling to a child at bedtime.
		Harvie Krumpet is an enormous step up in terms of production quality (particularly the sound, which is quite poor on the shorts).

	Harvie Krumpet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Harvie Krumpet is an Australian claymation, made in St Kilda, Melbourne by Adam Elliot (Melodrama Pictures).
		In one of the pivotal episodes of his life Harvie sits in the park next to the statue of Horace while he hears the instructional Carpe diem what leads to many changes in hero's life including embracing the naturist ways and embarking on daring rescue missions for animal rights.
		The naïve simplicity of Harvie is an extended metaphor for all that youth values in life - a clear sense of values and strength of family.

	PIXELSURGEON \| Reviews \| Movies \| Harvie Krumpet
		Narrated by Geoffrey Rush, Harvie's life is told in a series of bittersweet episodes, punctuated by "Fakts" that he has learned along the way (such as "The trouble with nude dancing is that not everything stops moving when the music does") which he notes in a little book he keeps tied around his neck.
		Harvie has a tragic life, full of death, illness and misfortune (losing a testicle and suffering from Alzheimer's), but keeps an optimistic, simple outlook on life, even when he gets a metal plate in his head which, thanks to a lightening strike, becomes magnetised, attracting nearby metal objects.
		The new DVD release of Harvie Krumpet also comes with some of Elliot's earlier claymation short films: Uncle (1996), Cousin (1998) and Brother (1999) which deliver a similar outlook on life: funny, surreal and dark, with obsessive characters leading pointless existences dotted with tragedy and death.

	DVD Talk Review: Harvie Krumpet
		The short film Harvie Krumpet is lodged firmly on the "peculiar" end of the spectrum; it's humorous in a very off-beat way, coming from the fact that it looks at the world from a rather odd perspective.
		Harvie spends most of the film looking rather befuddled, but that's not a limitation of his animation; he's just a befuddled kind of guy, and when the story calls for it, his clay face shows other emotions.
		The (mis)adventures of the titular Harvie are oddly compelling, and surprisingly memorable.

	Harvie Krumpet DVD Review - www.impulsegamer.com -
		Harvie Krumpet is a story of a man who from the time he was born was cursed with a lifetimes worth of bad lack.
		Harvie’s life consists of losing his loved ones, being struck with not only illness but also a bolt of lightning, and then to top it all off he has a testicle removed.
		Although harvie’s life seems to be a never-ending battle of misfortune, he manages to seize the day and enjoy everything the world and chance throws at him.

	Harvie Krumpet - Review
		Harvie's illiterate mother withdraws him from school after he is bullied, and instead teaches him the 'fakts' of life in her own peculiar way.
		When Harvie is declared sterile, the couple adopt a thalidomide baby, Ruby, and Harvie devotes himself to being a full-time father until Ruby moves to New York to become a successful disabled rights lawyer.
		Harvie is last seen as naked as the day he was born - and it is left for the viewer to decide whether, in his long journey through life, Harvie has travelled far and achieved miracles, or just gone round in circles getting nowhere.

	DVD Times - Harvie Krumpet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		In his commentary Elliot describes these earlier works as a warm-up for Harvie Krumpet and whilst they have ostensible similarities to this newer piece, we do now see him moving away from his own experiences and into wholly fictional territory (though tiny biographical details do sneak under the radar as is often the case).
		Given this lack of a personal edge Harvie Krumpet may not be able to elicit as profound a response as either Cousin or Brother, but its a highly impressive and hugely entertaining, not to mention quite touching, piece nonetheless.
		As his Harvie Krumpet talk track is largely technical and reveals the various materials employed in its production, the commentaries for the trilogy are especially welcome as they reveal the personal side to his filmmaking.

		"Harvie Krumpet, a claymation film by Australian filmmaker Adam Elliot, is all about the life of Polish immigrant with Torrett's syndrome who moves to Spotswood, a inner-city suburb of Melbourne, Australia.

		As in Harvie Krumpet, the inherent sadness is offset by flashes of hilarity and wit, as Saville captures a moody, mainly nocturnal Melbourne that is beautiful and bittersweet.

		But nobody that saw HARVIE KRUMPET during its brief run in Australia was surprised, because by the time creator Adam Elliot took the stage, he had already swept almost every short award with his small little film about the underachiever in all of us.
		Harvie was an unlucky man, born in Poland in 1922 to a mother who talked to inanimate objects and a father who had to work three lumberjack jobs.
		Narrated by Geoffrey Rush, HARVIE KRUMPET is a curious piece that straddles the line between tragedy and comedy, but if there was ever a lesson learned from the theater, it’s that there is very little difference between the two, and Writer/Director/Animator Adam Elliot proves that with every second in this fast paced short film.

	XTRAMSN: Film Festival: Harvie Krumpet
		Born with Tourettes syndrome, orphaned as a child and then uprooted from Poland by advancing Germans before he's 20, Harvie's life continues as a long and seemingly unrelenting episode of bad luck and tragedy.
		That it remains such a warm and thoughtful film is testament both to Elliot's sympathetic animation and the restrained hush of Rush's voiceover which almost lends it the air of a fairy tale.
		Born 'upside down and back to front', Harvie's life is a dreadful jumble, constantly battered by a malign fate.

		Harvie Krumpet tells the saga of a man with Tourette's Syndrome.
		Though the whimsy sometimes feels a bit forced, and the film is not without its moments of cloying humanism, Harvie Krumpet is admirable for its straightforward and humorous treatment of a number of dicey subjects, and its successful blend of humor, pathos, and the grotesque is a substantial achievement.
		Harvie Krumpet was shot in sequence on Super 16mm with a converted Bolex over 15 months and was finished to 35mm in May 2003.

		But yet, in everything, Harvie can remain positive because in all the negativity he absorbs, he manages to find the kernel of the positive.
		So Harvie isn’t a loser by any means because he figures out stuff most of us never even consider and that makes him a winner.
		Harvie is all at once a sad film, a bleak film, but also an uplifting and warm film with a heart (no doubt full of holes or murmurs).

		Christened Harvek Milos Krumpetzki, the young Polish boy, Harvey, is born into a working-class family with a lumberjack father and mine-working mother, obsessed with counting her fingers and having conversations with people who weren’t there.
		Harvey Krumpet is a very unusual and intriguing little story that is surprisingly sombre and consistently amusing.
		The final part of the clay-mation ‘trilogy’ is brother, and is the longest and closest in theme to Harvie Krumpet itself.

		Deservedly the winner of many awards, Harvie Krumpet is a character that will live in your imaginations for years to come.

		Harvie is retarded, and eventually fills a notebook (which he keeps hanging around his neck like a pendant) with the "Fakts" of life he's discovered.
		Harvie's life story is a woeful tale of lead-poisoned mine workers, thalidomide babies and the wacky antics of oh-so-funny Alzheimer's patients.
		Mildly humorous (and also mildly offensive at times), "Harvie Krumpet" is narrated by Geoffrey Rush (who won his own Oscar for his performance as another retarded protagonist in the 1996 film Shine).
