boy by taika waititi

I told you all about Taika Waititi's (Director and Writer of Eagle vs Shark) upcoming movie - Boy - a while ago but its totally worth telling you fullas again.
Especially now the full-length trailer is on YouTube so I can embed it. weee!

Love this Kiwi Port-a-Bach (new name though please? one that doesn't sound like Port-a-Loo?).
