Boy New Zealand | DIR Taika Waititi CAST: James Rolleston, Te Aho Eketone-Whitu, Taika Waititi The year is 1984, and 11-year-old Boy is a dreamer who spends his days idolizing Michael Jackson, fantasizing about his first hickey, and inventing memories of his absent thug father. When Dad returns home in a cool muscle car and leather jacket, Boy is determined to please him. Meanwhile, Boy's younger brother Rocky fancies himself a superhero, and a sprawling brood of cousins expect Boy to fix them supper. As Boy gradually realizes that his father lacks any parenting skills, he is forced to forget and forgive his hero in order to find his own potential. In a film that abounds in wonderful-terrible King of Pop impersonations, all the actors inhabit their roles with joy and bumbling grace. Stepping lightly between over-the-top comedy and gentle naturalism, writer/director Taika Waititi's heart-tugging story explores the elusive moment when a boy starts to make the choices that determine the man he will become.
