Socks
A beautifully restrained tale of queer yearning, in which a young Māori boy develops an unlikely bond with a Mormon missionary in rural New Zealand.
Filmed in timeless black-and-white and anchored by a phenomenal performance by young star Monty Walker, Todd Karehana’s gentle coming-of-ager – executive-produced by Jane Campion, and debuting at the Venice International Film Festival – has all the makings of a crowd-pleasing queer classic. Socks is an evocative look at male friendship that transcends culture, religion and desire.
