ACCLAIMED Kiwi filmmaker and actor Taika Waititi is known for his irreverent rreverent sense of humour. .

Hot on the heels l of f hi his successful reboot of Marvel’s Thor franchise, the director is back with his most bonkers film yet.

In Jojo Rabbit, a lonely German boy’s world view is turned upside down when he discovers his single mother is hiding a young Jewish girl in their attic. Aided only by his idiotic imaginary friend, Adolf Hitler (Waititi), Jojo must confront his blind nationalis­m.

Thi This won’t be to everyone’s taste, but the anti-hate message at its core is a relevant and timely one. Conceptual­ly, it’s his most ambitious film to date.
