I finally got to see Whale Rider last night and was amazed by the number of Maori carvings in the movie. They must be in 50% of the scenes! Even the kids were wearing little Tiki t-shirts in the school show scene.

Nice story, too. Moving without the usual Hollywood cheese factor.

Definitely one to see if you're into Maori culture/art/carvings and like a bit of a cry at the movies!
