About the Film

Jojo Rabbit is a 2019 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Taika Waititi, based on Christine Leunens's novel Caging Skies. Roman Griffin Davis stars as Johannes "Jojo" Betzler, a lonely 10-year-old German boy during the final months of World War II whose imaginary friend is a buffoonish, childishly inaccurate version of Adolf Hitler, played by Waititi himself. Jojo's fanatical nationalism is shattered when he discovers that his mother, played by Scarlett Johansson, has been hiding a Jewish teenager named Elsa, played by Thomasin McKenzie, in the walls of their home.

Taika Waititi described the film as an "anti-hate satire," and his portrayal of Hitler as a cartoonish imaginary companion — essentially the projection of a child's indoctrinated mind — was the film's most audacious creative choice. The humor derived from the contrast between Jojo's earnest Nazi enthusiasm and the absurdity of his ideology as seen through a child's eyes, while the dramatic stakes were genuinely harrowing, as the consequences of discovery would be fatal for Jojo's mother and Elsa. Scarlett Johansson earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress as the warm, subversive Rosie.

The film won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay and earned $90 million worldwide on a $14 million budget.
