Hugo

Adapted from the popular children’s novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret, the enchanting Hugo follows a young boy who secretly lives in Paris’s Montparnasse train station and maintains the station’s clocks while keeping alive his father’s dream of repairing a mysterious automaton. Eventually the boy crosses paths with another regular at the train station—the fantasy film pioneer Georges Méliès—whom he enlists to help repair the mechanical man. Scorsese’s first use of 3D brings to life the many mechanical environments in the film and remains a moving elegy to the cinema’s mechanical past as it moves into the digital era. (126 mins., 3D DCP)
