I enjoyed the previous pairing of Roald Dahl and Wes Anderson in Fantastic Mr. Fox, so I was looking forward to seeing The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar with my eyes. What I got was pretty much was I expected from a Wes Anderson film: an impressive cast, symmetrical framing, vibrant pastel colors, and lines recited at breakneck speed. In fact, most of the story is told very quickly by characters speaking directly at the camera. It feels almost rude to look away and it's somewhat exhausting. Yet, by the end, I finally found myself able to fully concentrate on this short film with no distractions.
