Reading the premise of Jojo Rabbit, you’d wonder how this movie could get made. A young German boy named Jojo’s world is turned upside down when he learns his mother is hiding a Jewish girl in their attic. Oh, and he also has an imaginary best friend: Adolf Hitler.
Waititi takes a comedic approach to this devastating historic event, but it’s a message that resonates today. He’s also assembled A-list actors, including Scarlett Johansson, Sam Rockwell, and Stephen Merchant, and impressive new child actors Roman Griffin Davis and Thomasin McKenzie. We spoke to the cast and Waititi about making this movie that is already shaping up to be a big win for the New Zealand director. Check out the interviews and see Jojo Rabbit in select Cineplex theatres starting October 25!
Jojo Rabbit is a must-see movie (especially if you’re following the awards race).
Already the winner of the People’s Choice Award at TIFF, Jojo Rabbit is likely to be a big Oscar contender. It’s the kind of movie that everyone will be talking about, and it’s a conversation you want to be in on.
