About This Movie
Erua is a quiet yet impactful drama, delving into the bond between renowned artist Toss Woollaston and a young Māori boy named Erua. Set in the early 60s in Greymouth, the film captures that intimate dynamic, as Woollaston finds inspiration in Erua's playful spirit. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for moments of stillness that reflect both the beauty and complexity of their friendship. It's not just about art but also the cultural exchanges that happen in those simple Wednesday evenings. The performances are touching, with a genuine warmth that feels unscripted, embodying a slice of New Zealand life that feels both personal and expansive. The cinematography echoes the tones of Woollaston's paintings, adding a layer of depth to the narrative.
