A Short & Sweet story told well
From the Book of Roald Dahl, brought to life by Wes Anderson, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar is a wonderful and interesting story that questions the capabilities & limits of the Human mind and dedication. The plot is short yet refreshing and the typical style of Wes Anderson is perfect for a movie of this stature. The writing is acted out as if you are still reading the words of the page and is something not seen much from Top tier movies. The biggest highlight for me was the set design and how it changed from one to another seamlessly without the use of CGI. Most of the things are practical as in every Anderson movie and the frames capture your eyes till the movie ends. The stellar cast was led by Ben Kingsley, Benedict Cumberbatch and co. Just makes the story so much better. It is a must-watch for every Roald Dahl fan as well as Cinematographers and Designers alike.
