Sadly, we come to our last film of the year, this Sunday at 5.00. We are showing the Kiwi Boy... "a charmer, a funny and affecting coming-of-age story rendered with heart, and with nuttiness" - so says Steven Rea in the Philadelphia Inquirer. My son (who still lives in New Zealand), recommended it to me when it was first released in 2010; we couldn’t get it then, but I can vouch for it too as I did get the DVD a couple of years later. The film has finally been released here after the success of Hunt for the Wilderpeople by the same Director – Taika Waititi. As ‘the Wilderpeople’ went down so well in Keswick, we thought we’d finish the season on a bright, whimsical note (just to disprove to all those of you who think all our films are depressing!!). The story follows the Maori ‘Boy’ in his poor, backwater life near the Bay of Plenty in 1984 New Zealand. We get to see the joy and the sorrow of unemployed Maori life, whilst following Boy’s dreams about his ‘famous’ father (Played for comic effect by Waititi himself) – is he really a deep-sea diver? Come along for some traditional Maori lifestyle...and lots of laughs!
