English This is right up Wes's alley. The short runtime is definitely a plus. The visual beauty is repetitive enough that it ends before it gets tiresome. The story is told in a charming, almost gossip-like narration style. ()

English In Wes Anderson's Dahl tetralogy, I enjoyed The Curious Case of Henry Sugar the most, thanks to the longer running time (compared to the other three shorts), which made the film feel more coherent, as well as the excellent work with the sets. Story-wise, Henry Sugar also appealed to me the most. ()
