Title: Win 1/10 'Hunt For The Wilderpeople" double passes - BNE, SYD, MEL - 25 wol Post by: culturebird on Thursday 12 May 2016, 10:28:22 pm (http://www.palacecinemas.com.au/_img/movies/huntforthewilderpeople.poster.jpg)
WIN TICKETS TO SEE HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE See the delightful newbie from the brains behind Boy and What We Do in the Shadows. It might be based on a book by New Zealand author Barry Crump, however Hunt for the Wilderpeople is a film only Taika Waititi could've made. If you enjoyed the writer/director's quirky brand of humour in Boy and What We Do in the Shadows, you'll know exactly what you're in for. Here, hiding out in the wild, dreaming about being a gangster and arguing about which Terminator you'd rather be go hand in hand. Indeed, that's Ricky Baker's (Julian Dennison) story — or, it is after the 13-year-old is taken in by the kindly Bella (Rima Te Wiata) and the cranky Hec (Sam Neill). When tragedy strikes, he absconds to the surrounding wilderness to avoid the controlling plans of an over-eager social worker (Rachel House). A national manhunt ensues, as does plenty of mayhem; think nods to '80s classics, over-the-top car chases, plus Rhys Darby popping up as an eccentric conspiracy theorist. Part coming-of-age adventure, part comedic trek through the New Zealand bush, if the end result sounds both hilarious and heartwarming, that's because it is. And, it's also Waititi's last indie effort before he takes on a rather mammoth task: directing Thor: Ragnarok, and bringing his distinctive sensibilities to the superhero realm. Hunt for the Wilderpeople is in cinemas nationally from Thursday, May 26, and thanks to Madman, we have 10 double in-season passes to give away. Enter your details below to go in the running. Entries close at 11pm on Sunday, May 22, 2016. http://concreteplayground.com/sydney/arts-entertainment/film/win-tickets-to-see-hunt-for-the-wilderpeople-3/ |
