FRIDAY REVIEW: FILM RELEASES: Whale Rider 2/5
2003
Overview
This sentimental crowd-pleaser about a young Maori girl facing her tribal destiny is somewhere between whale music and world music, or maybe a cross between Free Willy and a 90-minute Benetton ad. It's set in a remote, and beautifully photographed New Zealand coastal town where Maori elder Koro (Rawiri Paratene) is chief of a clan claiming descent from the legendary Whale Rider. When his son's wife dies in childbirth with twins, only the girl, Paikea, survives; and her traumatised father runs off to be an artist in Europe without embracing his responsibilities.
