Hugo, based on The Invention of Hugo Cabret, is a fantastic film in both senses of the word.
Directed by Martin Scorcese, Hugo follows the titular character as he struggles to recover from the loss of his father. Asa Butterfield delivers an award-worthy performance as Hugo. In an odd yet successful casting, Borat plays the station inspector, adding a perfectly light dusting of humor. The costumes and set design deserve special note for their subtle touch. The clockworks of all sizes through the film impressed.
I recommend Hugo to those who enjoy imaginative, visually impressive films.
