Writer-director Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok) brings his signature style of humor and pathos to his latest film, JoJo Rabbit, a Nazi Era World War II satire.
The story follows a lonely German Nazi Youth boy, "JoJo" (Roman Griffin Davis), whose Nazi world-view is turned upside down when he discovers his single mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a young Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in the attic.
Aided only by his loveable imaginary friend, German Reich Führer and Nazi leader Adolf Hitler (Taika Waititi), Jojo must confront his blind, super-patriotic, white nationalism.
(Cinema Blend) When Disney acquired Fox earlier this year, reports also surfaced that Jojo Rabbit’s new parent company [Disney] was worried about the movie fitting in with their [Disney] branding. Scarlett Johansson recently shot down the reports, explaining how “excited” Disney execs are about the dark comedy at a dinner she attended following the acquisition. Jojo Rabbit may have controversial roots, but it’s perhaps part of the reason why the movie is getting so much buzz ahead of Oscar season. The movie is one of Toronto International Film Festival’s most anticipated films. Stay tuned for reactions following its premiere this Sunday, September 8.More
