Based on Christine Leunens’ novel Caging Skies, writer/director Taika Waititi’s audacious World War II satire follows a lonesome German boy shocked to find out his mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a young Jewish girl in the attic and, as always, turns to his goofy imaginary friend, Adolf Hitler (Waititi). Selected Filmography: Thor: Ragnarok (2017), Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016), What We Do in the Shadows (2014) In English and German with English subtitles.
