Hugo

Set in 1930s Paris, an orphan who lives in the walls of a train station is wrapped up in a mystery involving his late father and an automaton in Martin Scorsese’s first family film.

Hugo tells the story of an orphan boy living a secret life in the walls of a Paris train station. With the help of an eccentric girl, he searches for the answer to a mystery linking the father he recently lost, the ill-tempered toy shop owner living below him and a heart shaped lock, seemingly without a key.

A turn of events in the 2nd half heralds in a striking lesson in film history and the importance of film preservation, which is unraveled in the remainder – and all with a level of enjoyment that only Scorsese could bring. Based on Brian Selznick’s award winning and imaginative New York Times bestseller, ‘The Invention of Hugo Cabret’, this magical tale stars Asa Butterfield (Hugo), Chloe Grace Moretz, Sacha Baron Cohen, Ben Kingsley, Jude Law, Ray Winstone, Christopher Lee, Helen McCrory, Richard Griffiths, Frances de la Tour, Emily Mortimer and Michael Stuhlbarg. Another great intelligent family film for the holiday period.
