Taika Waititi - What the world needs more of...

Rating: 9/10 (16 January 2020)

There's a paucity of original ideas in today's World Cinema. Perhaps it studio's trying to play it safe...
Loved films spawn sequels that studio's consider a safe investment. Superhero films seem like the only other area studio's will invest in.
Taika Waititi right now seems like a safe investment too.
The Writer / Director penned one of the quirkiest most touching films of the Past decade.
Set in Nazi Germany; Jojo Betzler is a bumbling enthusiastic member of the Hitler youth who's imaginary Best Friend is none other than the Furer himself. "Adolf" is hilariously played by Waititi himself.
During the course of the story Jojo learns many life lessons. Waitiki interweaves drama and comedy in throughout to great effect thanks to a stellar cast. Sam Rockwell & Scarlett Johansson occupy pivotal roles. But there are some newcomers who make a good impression and other acting veterans with small star turns as well.
