owes a lot of this awards season to his mother, Robin Cohen. She’s the one who first told him that he should think about adapting Christine Leunens’ novel “Caging Skies” for the big screen..” Adapted from “Caging Skies,“ the film was written and directed by Waititi. It goes into Oscar night with six nominations, including nods for best picture and adapted screenplay.
For the first time, Cohen, a senior tutor at Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand, is revealing why she brought “Caging Skies” to her son’s attention. “It’s a life-and-death situation conjured by extreme fanaticism. The result is a horrifically surreal reality,” Cohen toldin an email. “The key players are a girl trying to stay alive and a fanatical boy who lies to keep her as his victim. Their relationship mirrors fear, pain, cruelty and pathos.
