Trailer: Hunt for the Wilderpeople A national manhunt is ordered for a rebellious kid and his foster uncle who go missing in the wild New Zealand bush. The late Barry Crump was a prolific and colourful, not to say controversial, part of the New Zealand literary landscape. A former deer- culler for the government, he wrote 2. Women were less impressed with his tendency to beat up his wives, of whom he had five – producing nine sons – but many forgave him even that. He wrote Wild Pork and Watercress in 1.

Maori boy called Ricky Baker, who takes to the bush with his Uncle Hector rather than go back into the Social Welfare system. It was optioned for a film that did not get made. When Crump died in 1. Taika Waititi bought the rights and set out to make a deliberately old- fashioned film that would recall the early landmarks of Kiwi cinema. Films like Sleeping Dogs (1.

His second feature Boy went around the world and this film will too, even if it's a little cornier. It has two winning performances, incredible landscape and an irresistible strain of Kiwi humour that revels in being a long way from anywhere at the arse end of Creation.

At the same time, it's smarter than it looks, with a gentle redefinition of the idea of outsiders in a cold world. Neither the Maori kid nor the old white bushman is comfortable in modern market- oriented New Zealand. Waititi's sense of comedy is broad and fearless. Ricky Baker (Julian Dennison) arrives at the Faulkner farm in the back of a police car. He's clad in urban gear – straight from black American TV.

Paula, the social worker (Rachel House) tells Aunt Bella (Rima Te Wiata) that the boy is a bad egg, but it sounds more like "igg". Accents here are as thick as the mountain bush behind the farm. Watch Rising Fear 4Shared. Lovely Bella takes one look at the boy and smothers him with love.

Are you hungry, she asks the little boy – who's not so little. That's a silly question, isn't it?

Look at you." Her cackle alone is worth the price of a ticket. Uncle Hec (Sam Neill) is harder to crack. Taciturn, even downright cranky, we first see him walking up the hill with a huge dead feral pig strapped to his back. Neill's beard alone is worth an award.

Neill has always been good at silence; Uncle Hector has a Ph. D in not saying much. The boy and the man have to go bush when they run out of options. The authorities think the bushman has kidnapped the child. A manhunt ensues. This might not suggest a comedy but Taika Waititi can't help himself. He sees gags in every situation. When Ricky is hungry in the bush he imagines a talking hamburger, which turns into Hector.

It's that silly at times, but there is always the sadness of what they left behind and the mythical nature of their journey. The structure is based on flexible old favourites – two outlaws making the cops look silly, a buddy movie, runaways learning to depend on each other.

Etcetera. It ain't new but it is sturdy. Julian Dennison and Sam Neill in Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Photo: Supplied. There are frequent references to the movies I mentioned. Waititi has absorbed deeper lessons from his forebears – particularly Geoff Murphy and Roger Donaldson, both of whom made films with anarchic humour and a strong political sense in those early years. It's partly in the embrace of isolation, one of the defining characteristics of Kiwi cinema – that idea that nowhere is like here. That's attractive for home- grown audiences, but also for the rest of us if it's based in truth.

Simple nostalgia is not enough; we have to see actual differences of culture and outlook. Comedians often know more about those things than serious dramatists. The Hunt for the Wilderpeople has set new audience records in New Zealand, after a warm run earlier at Sundance. The humanity is part of that appeal, and for Kiwis, perhaps it's the chance to revisit Barry Crump's harder- than- oak archetypes. Sam Neill is as good as he's ever been, spurred on by his unpredictable and lively offsider, Julian Dennison. It's a good sign when you don't want a movie to end.
