Where the Wild Things Are

“CAROL, THAT WAS MY FAVORITE ARM”


When I think back to my childhood there are two books I think of: The Hungry Caterpillar and Where the Wild Things Are, so when I found out Wild Things was being made in to a film, by Spike Jonze no less, I was quite excited by the prospect.

Spike Jonze, legendary music video director and brain behind the cinematic mind twist that is Being John Malkovich, brings us a stunning adaptation of a childhood classic, accompanied with an excellent original soundtrack penned by Karen O, of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

And I’m pleased to say he pulled it off, because lets face it, it could well have been a disaster. Its one of those films that’s so entertaining and original, that I could have happily watched it again straight away., and that I was genuinely thinking about days later.
