This adaptation of a more obscure Roald Dahl short story from director Wes Anderson is a colourful and flamboyant tale of ethics, greed and doing what’s right. Told in typically unconventional fashion, it primarily follows a man who uses the pseudonym Henry Sugar, to protect his identity. When he discovers a mysterious book about a man who claims he can see anything without the use of his eyes, Henry spends years learning the meditation technique that will allow him to do the same. Once he has mastered this incredible feat, he decides to use his newfound powers for financial gain – but will this thirst for money and power come back to haunt Henry? With incredible set design and creative storytelling beats, this is a welcome addition to the unique filmography of a auteur filmmaker.
