Hugo (Three-disc Combo: Blu-ray 3D / Blu-ray / DVD
The narrative follows Hugo Cabret, an orphan boy, who is fending for himself whilst maintaining all the clocks at the train station, and living in the servicing areas.
It is a broken automaton that brings many of the film characters together. After the death of his father Hugo believes that returning the automaton back to working order, which has a writing function, will contain a message from his dad, and he works tirelessly to achieve this.
The automaton connects more than one broken heart and Hugo's comment that: "machines don't come with spare parts...so as humans we have to assume that there are no spare parts in our world, and that we all have a purpose," is striking as philosophically poignant film dialogue.
The viewer is presented with a stupendously crafted story, complemented by wonderful acting, and accompanied by breathtaking film shot selection and vivid colour.
