- Charming French comedy drama.
From Flicks:
French comedy-drama about Paloma – a serious, but deeply bored 11-year-old who has decided to kill herself on her twelfth birthday. Fascinated by art and philosophy, she questions and documents her life, drawing and video taping observations on the world around her. But as her appointment with death approaches, Paloma meets some kindred spirits in her building's grumpy concierge (Josiane Balasko), and an enigmatic, elegant neighbour (Togo Igawa), both of whom inspire Paloma to question her rather pessimistic outlook on life.
Adapted from the best-seller The Elegance of the Hedgehog, by French novelist and philospher Muriel Barbery.

- It's 1984, and Michael Jackson is king-even in Waihau Bay, New Zealand. Here we meet Boy, an 11-year-old who lives on a farm with his gran, a goat, and his younger brother, Rocky (who thinks he has magic powers). Shortly after Gran leaves for a week, Boy's father, Alamein, appears out of the blue. Having imagined a heroic version of his father during his absence, Boy comes face to face with the real version-an incompetent hoodlum who has returned to find a bag of money he buried years before. This is where the goat enters. Written by Sundance Film Festival
Review by Woody on IMDB: This New Zealand made movie had me laughing and entertained right from the outset. In fact, within the first five minutes, there were more laughs than some comedy movies manage to achieve in their entirety.
The movie 'Boy' is proof that a good script, decent characters and plenty of laughs produces a better result than big budget movies with no originality and plenty of marketing.
Go and see this -- but only if you like decent movies, 1980 references, laughing and characters you'll care about; a blend of serious under-currents wrapped up in quirky NZ humor.
