Boy is now on Blu-ray! This 2010 New Zealand coming-of-age comedy-drama movie (the #1 NZ film of all time) is written and directed by Taika Waititi. Boy is a dreamer who loves Michael Jackson. He lives with his brother Rocky, a tribe of deserted cousins and his Nan. Boy’s other hero, his father, Alamein, is the subject of Boy’s fantasies and he imagines him as a deep sea diver, war hero and a close relation of Michael Jackson (he can even dance like him). In reality he’s in the can for robbery. When Alamein returns home after seven years away, Boy is forced to confront the man he thought he remembered, find his own potential and learn to get along without the hero he had been hoping for.

Taika Waititi is bold, hilarious and at the helm.
A unexpectedly touching comedy that will no doubt leave you both crying with laughter at times and without it at others. A great insight into Maori culture while riding on the Taika Waititi thought train.
