Episode # 386 The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar with Sam Pay and Hannah Wales
Sam Pay (Song by Song podcast) and Hannah Wales (missflicks.com) return to Flixwatcher to review Sam’s choice The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar.
The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar (2023) is a short film based on a short story collection by Roald Dahl directed by Wes Anderson. It is the first in a four-part series of shorts adapted from Dahl’s short stories collection and includes The Swan, The Rat Catcher and Poison.
This is the second time Wes Anderson has adapted Roald Dahl and once again brings his trademark style to Dahl’s much loved words. The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar plus three more features a rotating cast that includes Benedict Cumberbatch as Henry Sugar, Max Engelman, and Harry Pope, Ralph Fiennes as Roald Dahl, the Policeman, and the Rat Man, Dev Patel as Dr. Chatterjee, John Winston, and Timber Woods, Ben Kingsley as Imdad Khan, the Dealer, and Dr. Ganderbai, Richard Ayoade as Dr. Marshall, the Great Yogi, and the Editor/Reporter and Rupert Friend as Peter Watson/Narrator and Claud.
Scores for the four short films were mixed, general consensus was that The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar was the strongest of the four. With a combined runtime of less than 90 minutes, much shorter than most cinema releases, it still comes recommended with an overall score of 3.74.
