New Zealand has selected Tusi Tamasese’s Samoan-language feature One Thousand Ropes for the foreign-language category at the 90th Academy Awards.
The film, Tamasese’s second for Oscar consideration, had its world premiere in the Panorama section at this year’s Berlin Film Festival, where THR reviewer David Rooney called it “a deeply felt drama,” where Tamasese, “sustains the subdued intensity with impressive control.”
Written and directed by Tamasese and produced by Catherine Fitzgerald, One Thousand Ropes is the story of a Samoan family living in suburban New Zealand, re-connecting and putting to rest the ghosts that haunt them.

There's a scene early in Samoan New Zealander Tusi Tamasese's One Thousand Ropes in which the central character, a male midwife, assists a young woman in natural childbirth while a cartoon blares from a television in the room, depicting the story of a Polynesian demigod who snares the sun to slow its path, granting longer hours of daylight. That seemingly casual connection between life and mythology, between flesh-and-blood reality and its parallel spiritual dimensions, informs this meditative drama about the redemption of a man whose healing hands have also inflicted scars on his family.
