The wonderful story of henry sugar

Wes Anderson's style is enigmatic and surreal which fits this short story by Roald Dahl perfectly. Its flat and pastel colored staging keeps us interested as it morphs around the characters.

Ben Kingsley, Benedict Cumberbatch and Ralph Fiennes carry the plot along as they narrate their own actions to the camera; all of them seasoned and well-bred thespians.

It's not long at 41 minutes and if you like Wes Anderson it's worth your time.

On Netflix.
