Where The Wild Things Are
Accompanied with an incredible soundtrack from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Karen O, Where the Wild Things Are brings to life Maurice Sendak’s 1963 children’s book like we all hoped they would. Max Records is sincere and lovable and embodies the wild, lonely young boy from Sendak’s masterpiece perfectly. The wild things are exact replicas of those in the book, you would think the gigantic furry suits against the Australian backdrop would be unbelievable but Spike Jonze has created a truly magical experience. While the storyline only follows the book slightly, the embellished adult themes invoke a new sense of connection to a book we held so dear as children.
