फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
Set in World War I, 6 Maori soldiers fighting for New Zealand, have become separated from their battalion. They make their way through the bombed out buildings of an evacuated town in the twilight of dawn. Low on ammunition, they hole up for the day in a ruined apartment building. To lessen their chance of being detected by the enemy, they wordlessly agree not to speak. With little water and no food, constantly on their guard, the sound of battle in the distance, their predicament seems dire and desperate.
But these six men, drawing on their shared culture, know how to make the best of a bad situation. The performances of the actors are wonderful to see; each actor, without speaking, deftly breathes life into his character, until the audience knows each personality. Cinematography is very good and the lighting is spectacular. The director succeeds beautifully in using a silent war story to tell the audience about compassion, camaraderie, humour, courage, and tenderness.
I saw this short as part of National Geographic "All Roads" project called "A Short Trip Around the World". Tama Tu was the only dramatic offering of this uneven collection of shorts and stands far above the level of the other pieces. But I would recommend seeing all of "Short Trip" if that's the only way that you can get to see this wonderful film.

I love the way that Taika Cohen who also made "Two Cars One Night" celebrates the little moments in life where we reveal our humanity. If that sounds cheesy, then it's my fault, not Cohen's. His two wonderful shorts capture these moments without sentimentality. I believe that this is his greatest strength: two kids fall in love in a pub car park at night; a platoon of Maori soldiers show respect for victims of war while they are themselves in danger. The shorts are uplifting but real and gritty, both in black and white or muted color, no eye candy, nothing false.
This little film started slowly for me. I couldn't really be less interested in group of guys running through a ruined town then hiding in a bombed out building. Then the story starts and with it the humor and warmth. There is no dialogue at all, little music and hardly any color. And yet the story is tells is super. There's more characterization in 15 minutes here that in 3 and a half hours of King Kong, another NZ film! (Actually, that's really mean, but I still think that this director has more to say to us than Peter Jackson has right now.) Watch out for Taika Cohen
