The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar (2023)
★★★★
hard not to comment on wes's extreme style or production design that everytime I see it leaves me jaw dropped, this was great and feels true Wes Anderson, everytime I see one of his movies I am starstruck with this thought of god I love movies so much and this is why.
this short was great! can't wait for more Wes movies!!
8.3 / 10 - The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar
-------------------------
I love the titles, the hand drawling looks great, also the vibrant yellows look great.
The match cut from walking in front of the camera to the opening o f the door looks great.
The audio being towards the left and then muffled when he was behind the window was really cool.
The it said, and then it cuts to the book without reading was cool.
- the blocking that wes anderson does in this short is amazing.
- how great is the train car thing that passes by when he is changes the costume.
- the spatial audio is awesome hearing him walk off camera and continue to talk on one side of the screen almost muffled is amazing.
- the tears in his eyes when he says "Who" god so amazing.
- the timing to light a ciggerate is amazing, although it feels like the moment is filled with silence but not too, the ability to allow the cigertte to light, seems something that most movies would cut out?
- is Wes Anderson a post meta modernism artist?
- cool detail to see henry's footsteps in time wiht the clock right at first.
