Opis:
In resourceful orphan Hugo Cabret (Asa Butterfield, an Oliver Twist-like
charmer), Martin Scorsese finds the perfect vessel for his
silver-screen passion: this is a movie about movies (fittingly, the 3-D
effects are spectacular). After his clockmaker father (Jude Law)
perishes in a museum fire, Hugo goes to live with his Uncle Claude (Ray
Winstone), a drunkard who maintains the clocks at a Paris train station.
When Claude disappears, Hugo carries on his work and fends for himself
by stealing food from area merchants. In his free time, he attempts to
repair an automaton his father rescued from the museum, while trying to
evade the station inspector (Sacha Baron Cohen), a World War I veteran
with no sympathy for lawbreakers. When Georges (Ben Kingsley), a
toymaker, catches Hugo stealing parts for his mechanical man, he
recruits him as an assistant to repay his debt. If Georges is guarded,
his open-hearted ward, Isabelle (Chloë Moretz), introduces Hugo to a
kindly bookseller (Christopher Lee), who directs them to a
motion-picture museum, where they meet film scholar René (Boardwalk Empire's
Michael Stuhlbarg). In helping unlock the secret of the automaton, they
learn about the roots of cinema, starting with the Lumière brothers,
and give a forgotten movie pioneer his due, thus illustrating the
importance of film preservation, a cause to which the director has
dedicated his life. If Scorsese's adaptation of The Invention of Hugo Cabret isn't his most autobiographical work, it just may be his most personal.
