Wes Anderson is back, and this time, he’s brought us a stunning visual masterpiece. Unlike previous ventures, this time, he doesn’t lack in terms of storytelling. Netflix and Wes Anderson have concocted something truly delicious, and fans are absolutely loving it.
Mastering long-form entertainment, Anderson has now ventured into a shorter format. If you’re looking for something spectacular to watch this weekend, you need to stream Wes Anderson’s short film, currently available on Netflix.
For this project, Anderson adapted a 1977 story by Roald Dahl, and the result is nothing short of a masterpiece. This isn’t the first time Dahl has influenced Anderson, as “The Fantastic Mr. Fox” also drew inspiration from Dahl’s work.
The flow of the storyline is prose-like, and the direction is nothing short of poetic. This short film stands as one of Anderson’s best recent productions. It revolves around Henry Sugar, a wealthy man with a penchant for gambling, who stumbles upon a doctor’s report about a remarkable patient in India.
After his training, Henry gained the ability to see through paper and around objects with just a touch. Doctors hoped to utilize his talents to aid the blind but were saddened to find he had passed away, highlighting the missed opportunity to make a positive impact.
With brilliant cinematography and outstanding acting, this film is indeed a must-watch. Tune in to Netflix to stream this 40-minute short film, available on the platform since September 27th.
