The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar Review Netflix

A short film that is just 39 seconds long (including credits) and features the intriguing talents of actors like Benedict Cumberbatch and the visionary direction of Wes Anderson, undoubtedly making it one of the quirkiest and most interesting shorts in the world.

The storytelling in this short is quite distinctive. The characters speak directly to the audience, much like reading a book aloud. Every detail is meticulously crafted, reminiscent of a novel. The narrative shifts between multiple characters, with Henry, portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch, being the central figure but not the sole focus.

Dividing the story into 3 parts, the first part introduces the writer who began this story, the second part features the doctor who encounters an extraordinary man who can see even with his eyes closed, and the third part focuses on Harry, who is trying to hone this special ability for gambling. All three parts will have flashback scenes in a pastel-colored setting, making up the majority of the visuals. The images will be in the center of the screen with black borders on all four sides, following the director’s style from start to finish.

it might not be interesting, if you give it a try, you’ll find that this is a well-crafted and unbelievably enjoyable piece of work. The story’s whimsical wonder is like watching a historical record of a miraculous individual. It may seem overly extravagant, but it invites you to follow along like a magic show. Even though you know you’re being deceived, you still have fun being deceived. Benedict Cumberbatch adds to the allure, along with the incredibly peculiar cinematography by director Wes Anderson. It may seem peculiar, but it tells the story smoothly and continuously. The only downside is that it’s a short film, so there’s no dramatic or cliffhanger ending. It simply ends, which is in contrast to the beginning.

A unique and intriguing short film that excels in both its visual style, storytelling that feels like reading a novel, and the performance of Benedict Cumberbatch, making it seem like you’ve watched a short magic show in just half an hour. I recommend giving it a try, and you’ll likely find it much more enjoyable than a definite waste of time.
