So, Ahi Ataahua is this intriguing performance film from '98 that kind of drifts into a realm of Pasifika tribal fusion. It’s not your usual narrative-driven piece. Instead, it’s all about the energy and rhythm presented by the percussion group Strike, which is led by Gareth Farr—who, by the way, has this striking long hair that adds to the whole vibe. Waka Attewell’s cinematography captures the performances with a certain fluidity that makes you feel like you're part of the experience. The choreography by Mika really stands out, too. There’s this rawness about it, a blend of music and movement that feels both intimate and expansive. It’s a unique watch, for sure, something that lingers in your mind long after.
