About this event
Screening as part of Baby and Carer screenings . One of the funniest and most delightful films of 2016, Hunt for the Wilderpeople is a pleasure from beginning to end. Writer/director Taika Waititi ( What We Do in the Shadows ) crafts an effortlessly funny odd-couple story about rap-loving troublesome orphan Ricky (Julian Dennison) and gnarly gruff loner Hec (the late, great Sam Neill) who end up being chased by police deep into the New Zealand bush. A compassionate, generous, engaging and often laugh-out-loud funny film. "A marvellous actor who graced the screens at Filmhouse on any number of occasions: The Piano , Dead Calm , Jurassic Park (of course) and The Dish to name but a few! He’s had a special place in our hearts for years, ever since Filmhouse became, far and away, the top Box Office site in the UK for Hunt for the Wilderpeople . As it happens, we have a couple of screenings over the next weeks - of the aforementioned ‘ Wilderpeople ’ in its 10th anniversary year and John Carpenter’s In the Mouth of Madness - that we’d now like to stand as our dedication to him". - Written by Rod White, Programme Director
