 Boy
(2010, 87 min.) NEW ZEALAND
Director: Taika Waititi (Te Whanau-a-Apanui)
Produced in association with: The New Zealand Film Production Fund Trust, The New Zealand Film Commission, NZ On Air, Te Mangai Paho.
In 1984, on the rural East Coast of New Zealand, “Thriller” is changing kids’ lives, and two brothers spin fantasies about their absent father. This coming-of-age tale about heroes, magic and Michael Jackson, follows the brothers Boy and Rocky and their dad Alamein (played by Waititi), who Boy imagines to be a deep-sea diver and friend of the King of Pop. Alamein’s return, however, forces Boy to reconcile reality with the father created in his imagination.
