PG-13. 102 minutes. T his film has much to recommend, but one of the most important is its evocation of place. The Maori of New Zealand are very active participants in the place where they live. Every tribe has its marae, a large piece of land and associ- ated building. The people of Whangara, a coastal village on the East Coast of the North Island, have a marae that faces the bay and a distinctive, beautifully decorated meeting house where all tribal events of significance take place. However, these people have witnessed the decline of their culture. Young people move to the cities; unable to find work, they turn to alcohol, drugs or else become thugs. When the film opens, customs and native language are being lost, and old tribal ways are dying out. So it’s a pleasant surprise that in this vil- lage, school children learn to perform Kapa democratize the way the people approach their collective spiritual, tribal life. After all, her father named her Paikea for the (male) tribal ancestor who the myth says arrived in the village on the back of a whale, a legend 1,000 years old. One of the film’s few subplots involves old grudges between Koro and Pai’s father, Porourangi (Cliff Curtis), who has made a name for himself as an artist in Europe. He doesn’t come to the village often, though he loves Pai. But the old man cannot forgive his eldest son for not following the old ways. Koro wanted to teach Porourangi the war movements called haka, Maori weaponry and traditional chant. But instead Koro must teach the village lads, while Pai secretly observes and practices. Grandmother Nanny Flowers (Vicky Haughton) is the intermediary between Pai and Koro, but she is no pushover. She stands up to her prickly husband and is also a cultural leader. He may rule the tribal government, she says, but at home she’s the boss. So when she suddenly packs up Pai’s things, the 12-year old knows that it is time for her to stay elsewhere until Koro returns Niki Caro’s film not only empowers girls to dream big but also shows how traditional male roles can be re-shaped to include everyone, equally. Haka, the Maori songs, dances and myths that sustained the people for many cen- turies. Pai (Keisha Castle-Hughes) loves the old lore. She is eager to perform, espe- cially for her grandfather, Koro (Rawiri Paratene), an elder tribal chief, who picks up the girl at school every day on his ancient bicycle. Grandfather believes that Pai’s twin brother, who died at birth, with their mother, would have become the new leader of the Ngati Konohi, a subtribe of other Maori who live along the coast. But a girl? Never! Pai is pretty young to harbor such ambi- tion, yet she is determined to show Koro that she is capable of learning what a chief must know. But he rebuffs the girl’s attempts to connect with him. His cruel words and dismissive attitude are hurtful. But we know something from watching her that neither Pai herself nor Koro know: She is a natural leader, and her decisions will to himself. He has suffered a great disap- pointment over the poor performance of the boys he’s been training. Paikea, which also means “whale,” emerged from the watery world at this spectacular bay. Whales still visit, and they are very special to members of the tribe. When Pai needs to be alone, she walks out to the large outrigger canoe abandoned by her father long ago and looks at the bay, waiting for a sign. One of the loveliest scenes is Pai singing to the whales, calling them in a whale-like chant from this boat on land. A perfect film for older kids and parents, Niki Caro’s film not only empowers girls to dream big but also shows how traditional male roles can be re-shaped to include everyone, equally. Opens Wednesday, July 2 at the Bijou. Winner of Sundance 2003 audience award, this film is very highly rec- ommended. ew
