Hugo. Here's...

...an utterly magical movie. See it NOW! In 3D! Scorsese has invented a new visual language, half digital FX but you don't mind because everything is so fresh. The sainted director moves us through a series of filmic tropes, and at each stage you will think you know where it's going based on regular expectations. For instance, the opening is tres Disneyesque -- around 1930, a movie-wise seven-year-old orphan boy who lives in the clockworks of a Paris train station meets a book-wise eleven y.o. girl, whose stepfather... and then... a mean policeman... and then... a detective story discovery... old forgotten footage... But the cinematic landscape refuses to focus for long and slowly we are swept up into a meta-narrative that transcends every earlier story element and plot point. Holy...!!

Scorsese has orchestrated a virtual cinema autobiography. And the 3D usage is masterful. Just wait till you get Max in your face!

I'll never, ever forget the night I first saw it. Folks, this one goes onto my list of Five Best Movies Ever Made.
