Cult Movie Mondays: Boy (2010)📅 Monday, December 28th | 🕗 8:00 PM | 📍 TicTic, Phnom Penh
Set in a rural Māori community on New Zealand’s East Coast in 1984, Boy follows an imaginative 11-year-old who idolizes Michael Jackson and dreams of the heroic father he barely remembers. When Alamein returns after years away, Boy and his younger brother Rocky discover that their dad is less action hero and more wannabe gangster—with a forgotten stash of buried money on his mind. James Rolleston stars as Boy, Te Aho Aho Eketone-Whitu as Rocky, and Taika Waititi as Alamein.
Written and directed by Waititi, Boy premiered at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. It’s a funny, tender coming-of-age story about childhood imagination, family, and seeing the people you love as they really are.
“This is an upbeat, often hilarious, but never mawkish, celebration of love.”
— Amber Wilkinson, Eye for Film
“A tender and funny film; it deserves to be seen.”
— Cath Clarke, The Guardian
