A retiree (voice of Barry Otto) learns that guardian angels (Geoffrey Rush) aren't always all that's advertised in $9.99

This stop-motion film – which claims to offer “slightly less than $10 worth about the meaning of life” – opens today for a one-week run at the Nuart Theatre in West Los Angeles. Directed by Tatia Rosenthal, who co-wrote with Elgar Keret, based on his stories, $9.99 features the voice of Geoffrey Rush as a surly guardian angel looking out for the interests of an unemployed 23-year-old who purchases a book that promises to reveal the meaning of life (apparently, there are six). Anthony LaPaglia, Samuel Johnson, and Claudio Karvan are also in the vocal cast.

Over at our sister site, Cinefantastique Online, you can hear a podcast interview with the director or watch the trailer.
