Review of Hugo (2011) by Tanner B — 16 Aug 2015
-IGNORE THIS RATING.
3/4.
Sumptuous adaption of Brian Selznick's novel set in Paris in the 1930's about an orphan boy living alone inside of a train station who has the ultimate chance of getting a new father. Who he later discovers was a famous filmmaker. Ideally cast (Except, exactly what is the purpose of Richard Griffiths' and Frances de la Tour's character?), and lavishing in every respect, although at times it feels more like a history lesson rather than a movie, as it explains older movies. Still a must see. Five Oscars for Robert Richardson's Cinematography, Sound Mixing, Sound Editing, Visual Effects, Art Direction.
