Hugo

(Martin Scorsese, 2011) 

Ages 8 and up

3D | Family Programming

A young boy is hanging on the hand of a large clock on the outside of a building.

This inventive adaptation of Brian Selznick’s acclaimed book is a tribute to cinema, adventure, and imagination.

The enchanting Hugo follows Hugo Cabret, a young boy who secretly lives in the Paris Montparnasse train station following his father’s tragic death where he maintains the station’s clocks. While keeping alive his father’s dream of repairing a mysterious automaton, Hugo befriends Isabelle, the goddaughter of a toyshop owner, who helps him in his quest to repair the mechanical man. Their adventure takes them to unexpected places on a journey through cinema history. Martin Scorsese’s first use of 3D is a moving elegy to the cinema’s mechanical past as it moves into the digital era. (126 mins., DCP)
