$9.99 is the latest film based on the short stories of Etgar Keret, the previous being the solid Wristcutters: A Love Story. Rather then examining the afterlife, $9.99 focuses instead on the meaning of life, as the film focuses on a booklet that promises to answer all of life’s questions, all for the bargain basement price of $9.99. Complete with a solid cast (Joel Edgerton, Claudia Karvan, Anthony LaPaglia, Geoffrey Rush) and the nice twist of using stop-motion claymation makes $9.99 one of the more eye catching and potentially original films to be released this year.

Interest level: Pliable
$9.99 opens exclusively at the Lagoon Theatre on July 31st.
