Movie #3228 "The Wonderful World of Henry Sugar" (oscar -nominated live-action short, theatre/netflix) All I really have to say is this is a creation from an outlandish, but detailed story from the pen of Wes Anderson based on the Roald Dahl story. I could never tell you everything that happened in the film --- It runs 40 minutes non-stop with a wealth of words and situations that build like a domino effect --- a style West Anderson is very well known for (his latest was "Asteroid City"). We have seen all of his films, and as he ages, he seems to fill the screen with more story and images --- Well, he found the story from Roald Dahl, quirky but fascinating in its telling ---- I must say, I think Anderson has found his style more complimentary in a shorter amount of time, like in this film. For my money, it could be even shorter because it really tests the attention span of the viewer. Check it out on netflix --- it's a hoot! Hard to watch because it is a challenge to stay focused on this film through the 40 minutes. I'd give it 4.5, but not sure it will win this category. But like I said, Anderson seems to be getting closer to the right conveyance of his style of storytelling --- a live-action short, but I'd suggest even shorter!
