cinematic marvel

Rating: 8/10 (19 September 2012)

All the things you've heard about this film. Magical, whimsical, brilliantly imaginative, one of the best films of the year, are all true. Like the best family films Hugo can be both sad and a little creepy at certain times but it's also smart, funny and just plain sweet a film for lovers of film young and old. It centers on a young boy whose father passes away and lives in a train station tuning clocks and collecting parts to finish his father's last project in hopes of learning why his father is deceased. But more than that it explores how powerful the art of film is and how if you're open to it can inspire you in all of life's aspects and mysteries.As a fellow film lover myself i found myself blown away by the passion Martin Scorcesse displays on screen with the help of a talented cast and wonderful cinematography Hugo is truly cinematic marvel.
