LOS ANGELES - New Zealand movie director Taika Waititi says he likes a challenge and his satire of Adolf Hitler and Nazi culture may be his riskiest and most successful yet.
It tells of a 10-year-old German boy toward the end of World War Two who is a Nazi fanatic and whose imaginary friend is Hitler. Filled with anti-Semitic ideas, Jocko’s world is turned upside down when he finds his mother has hidden a young Jewish girl in the attic of their home. Waititi, whose work ranges from the New Zealand TV musical parody “Flight of the Conchords” to superhero movie “Thor: Ragnorak,” said he wanted the film to overturn any notion that stories about the Nazi era have had their day, especially given the worldwide rise of white nationalism.
