DESCRIPTION
Dive into a world of fantasy and childhood wonder with Spike Jonze's imaginative adaptation of Where the Wild Things Are (2009). This visually stunning film blends live-action with stunning costume and creature design, bringing Maurice Sendak's beloved children's book to life.
The story follows Max (Max Records), a mischievous young boy feeling misunderstood at home. After a wild rumpus and a fight with his mom (Catherine Keener, "The Truman Show"), Max escapes to a fantastical land where he encounters the Wild Things – a group of giant, furry creatures with wild emotions mirroring his own. Crowned king of the Wild Things, Max faces the challenges of ruling this unpredictable land.
Where the Wild Things Are explores the complexities of childhood – the tantrums, the yearning for connection, and the deep well of imagination. This heartwarming and sometimes melancholic film is perfect for a family movie night or a solo journey back to the days of childhood wonder.
